Made by You: Japanese Boro Textile Stitching
A hands-on introduction to the Japanese art of visible mending, transforming fabric scraps into a one-of-a-kind stitched textile.Ā
Turn the old into new, with a little wabi-sabi
This workshop introduces participants to boro, a centuries-old Japanese textile tradition born from necessity, where worn or mended fabric was patched and stitched together layer by layer rather than discarded. We’ll start with a look at boro’s history and the philosophy behind it, including the idea of wabi-sabi, finding beauty in imperfection and visible signs of use.
From there, participants will learn foundational hand-stitching techniques, including running stitch and simple patch attachment, before designing their own layout using a mix of provided fabric scraps. Everyone will leave with a stitched textile piece of their own and a working knowledge of a technique they can keep building on at home.
Participants are welcome to bring fabric scraps from home with personal meaning, an old shirt, a worn pair of jeans, a piece of fabric with sentimental value, to incorporate into their piece. This is very much in the spirit of boro, and it makes each finished piece genuinely personal.
This class is for beginners of all skill levels, ages 10+, all supplies provided.Ā

Made by You: Sketching the Living World
In this workshop, we will observe local plant life and learn how to identify plants through sketching practices.
Leaves, Lines & Wonder
Plant life surrounds us and is integral to our survival, culture, and heritage. Together we will practice the art of observationāa meditative process that encourages calm, focus, and steadiness in the midst of a busy day. Students will learn how to build drawings from simple shapes, add line and value to create form, and develop thoughtful compositions on their sketchbook pages.
We will also explore ways to incorporate journaling alongside our drawings. By the end of the workshop, each student will begin developing a botanical sketchbook that serves as a living journalādocumenting both personal identity and the local flora around us.
This class is for beginners of all skill levels, ages 10+, all supplies provided.Ā
About the Artist
A botanical artist, producing detailed works in graphite, ink, colored pencil, and watercolor, Ana Carolina loves to capture plant life in an effort to deepen the connection between her viewers and the plants that surround them. Her largely monochromatic plant portraits invite viewers into a quiet, contemplative engagement with the natural world. Ana Carolinaās deep connection to botanicals is rooted in her heritage and upbringing, informing both the subject matter and sensibility of her practice.
Ana Carolina’s teaching draws on our shared human history with plants, particularly the traditions rooted in Indigenous knowledge and the role of the medicine man or woman within a community. As a South American with strong Indigenous roots, she carries a heritage deeply connected to traditional plant remedies and respect for the healing wisdom of the natural world.
