About this class
Join the Hand Embroidery Workshop in Berlin with Damaja and discover how to turn worn or forgotten clothing into creative treasures.
Through learning the basic hand embroidery techniques, you will be able to refresh your old clothes instead of throwing them away or sending them to thrift stores and buying new. This can be your new craft to contribute to the ZERO WASTE movement.
Bring your favorite piece of clothing, made of non-stretchy fabric that you don't wear anymore, either it has a little stain or a little hole or anything you want to cover or refresh with a new decorative texture of hand embroidery. You can bring your own design that you want to embroider, you can improvise with a drawing on spot, or you can use some designs offered by us.
You can also just bring yourself if you are just into learning the basic embroidery techniques. We will provide you with all the necessary materials and variety of embroidery designs for you to choose.
Embroidery is a meditative technique. Come and have a nice and inspiring afternoon. Embrace your creativity. Release all your thoughts, let your brain completely relax and allow your intuition to contribute in every string you take.
This workshop will be taught in English and is designed for all skill levels - from embroidery beginners to seasoned stitchers. No previous knowledge or skills are necessary! Everybody's welcomed.
The workshop will be held by Stefanija Pejchinovska, who works behind the label Damaja. She is a self-taught embroidery designer, who upcycles fabrics to produce accessories and collaborates with local designers to embroider sustainable clothing, produced in an ethical environment.
What you’ll do in the class
In the first part of the workshop, you will be introduced to the basic hand embroidery techniques used by Damaja in her work. In the second part of the workshop you can either continue working on the same piece or you can decide to embroider a small motif on the clothing you have brought.
Who is the class suitable for?
Target audience is everyone, at every age and gender. Ideally, I would like to help people who work on the computer to reconnect with the feeling of working with hands.
