About this Event
Materials with Memories with Fasiha
Materials with Memories
Participants will use fabric markers to draw meaningful symbols, patterns, or words onto their items, capturing the essence of their positive experiences and memories. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to sew beads onto the fabric, adding a vibrant dimension to their creations.
Whether it's a shirt from a memorable trip, a piece of fabric from a loved one, or any other cherished item, this workshop provides a platform for storytelling and creativity. By the end of the session, participants will have transformed their personal items into unique, wearable art pieces that celebrate and preserve their positive memories.
All necessary materials, including a variety of fabric markers and beads, will be provided. No prior experience in drawing or sewing is required – just bring your meaningful item and an open heart!
