SWANA Stitch Workshops
Armenian Marash Embroidery SATURDAY 4/12 12-3PM
Come learn a unique style of Armenian embroidery! Marash interwoven embroidery is a beautiful style of stitching that is unlike anything you’ve seen before! This stitch is also called secret needlework because of its unusual technique, and can be found in the Kutch embroidery of Pakistan and India.
50% of profits will go to support the Hidden Road Initiative, a nonprofit that provides educational opportunities to underprivileged students living in remote villages in Armenia.
Tickets are sliding scale. There are a limited amount in each tier to make sure instructors are paid fairly. We have two spots through a scholarship available to Armenians who cannot afford to take the class. Please email [email protected] to claim
This class is open to everyone.
