WORKSHOP | $45 | ALL AGES | Have you been needing a new method of journaling and/or self expression? Need to release all that tension in your body from dealing with LA traffic and our current state of the world? Come learn how to build a fabric journal and take out all that energy with a needle and thread. You don't need to know how to sew or embroider, come as you are, even as a beginner. You'll learn simple embroidery methods, craft a personal fabric journal using materials provided, learn how to utilize the journal to nurture your creative expression, freeform stitch as we have a slow stitching session, and learning how to let go of restrictive thinking in art and craft. There will be non-stitch ritual activities to express yourself through, plus tasty beverages and snacks to energize yourself for the night.
The class will be taught by Malina Syvoravong (she/her), an LA-based multimedia artist whos probably worked every job under the sun, including teaching art to children. Her educational background is in oil painting and printmaking (woodcut and linocuts) but in her professional life, she focuses on the culinary arts and works as a commercial food stylist. In her personal life, she's a professional hobbyist (her ADHD loves picking up a new hobby every few months, a multipotentialite!). She loves being silly, resourceful and scrappy when it comes to making her personal art. She enjoys teaching others new techniques and concepts in the arts and believes everyone has the potential to be creative and make personally fulfilling works of art.
