Pearls and wool, a dialogue from heart to hand.

In this embroidery workshop, like an inner landscape, participants are invited to bring materials into dialogue through their creative process. Using materials such as beads, yarn, rope and even chains, they will work with a needle and embroidery techniques to create their own unique universe. Although this is a traditional craft, the workshop offers an opportunity to explore the contemporary relevance of hand gestures.
