“Threads of Identity” (Embroidery & Storytelling)

Teens are invited to explore embroidery as a form of creative storytelling. After a guided tour of the Threads of Impact exhibition, participants will learn basic embroidery stitching and create fabric squares with personal motifs that celebrate ones heritage, identity, and community.

In this workshop, participants will learn basic embroidery stitches and use fabric squares to design a personal motif or symbol that represents their sense of self, heritage, or community. They may add initials, words, or cultural patterns to enhance their designs. Each embroidered piece will form part of a larger collaborative artwork — the ‘Community Quilt of Impact’, celebrating shared creativity and the connections that unite individual stories through design.

Suitable for Ages: 13-16 years
