TEXT TO TEXTILE: Journaling + Textile Art Fundraiser Workshops
All proceeds from purchasing a workshop ticket will go directly to supporting our narrative programs and online publication, ensuring we continue empowering individuals through the power of storytelling.
Join us for a series of narrative journaling and art-making workshops that invite you to explore your personal experiences and transform them into expressive fiber art. Through guided journaling and hands-on art-making techniques, you’ll reflect on your unique story and weave it into something tangible and meaningful.
Each workshop offers a supportive space for reflection, creativity, and connection. Whether you’re new to journaling or art-making or experienced, these workshops are designed to help you develop your narrative and express it through different art forms.
All tools and materials are provided, and all levels of experience are welcome. You may also bring your own materials and objects you’d like to add to the mix!

In this workshop, you’ll be guided through a series of journal prompts that facilitate gentle reflections on life’s messy moments, and to discover the empowering narratives within you.
Then, guest artist Natalia Tan will guide you in creating your unique tapestries based on your journaled material.
