TALA member Folk Lounge is presenting a Slavic Needlework workshop during Craftcation, a 5-day conference for creatives held in Ventura.
(Requires registration for entire event).
Join us for an intimate workshop where we'll uncover the forgotten art of reading cloth like ancient text. In quiet rooms, Slavic women once transformed ordinary linen into powerful talismans, weaving protection and blessings into the very fabric of daily life.
Working on travel pouches, we'll explore how symbols transform thread into meaning, testing ornament techniques that our ancestors knew could shift energy and invite good fortune. Step into the circle where craft becomes ritual, where patience becomes prayer, where simple stitches connect us across centuries to women who knew that making beauty was making magic.
Craftcation is a five-day gathering in Ventura for makers, artists, and small business owners—bringing together craft workshops, business sessions, and community in one of the rare spaces that holds the full spectrum of what it means to be a working creative.
