About this Event

A Morning of Creative Connection and Cultural Celebration

Join us every four Saturdays for rejuvenating mornings with , set in some of Los Angeles’ most inspiring locations. This is more than an embroidery gathering—it's a sanctuary where creativity, community, and cultural storytelling come alive through needle and thread. Whether you're just beginning or have been stitching for years, you're invited to bring a project or start something new, and immerse yourself in a circle that nurtures both skill and soul.

Urban Sanctuary

LA State Historic Park, Los Angeles CA: Thirty-two acres of open meadows stretch across what was once Southern Pacific Railroad's cornerstone in Los Angeles, the city's industrial birthplace transformed into undulating parkland. Opened fully in 2017 after decades of community advocacy, this reclaimed space preserves traces of railway infrastructure while creating contemporary connections between downtown, Chinatown, and the LA River. Sculptural landforms create subtle reminders of the watershed's original contours, while native plantings restore ecological functions to industrialized land. Historical markers and art installations tell layered stories of immigration, labor, and urban development that shaped modern Los Angeles. As afternoon light casts long shadows across grassy expanses, the downtown skyline provides a dramatic backdrop to this breathing space—a democratic forum where residents reclaim industrial history while collectively envisioning the city's future. We meet by the bridge overlooking the park and downtown.✥✥✥ "Every stitch carries a whisper from the past, a light from the future. I created this series to connect generations through shared spaces where we can learn, create, and celebrate together. With roots in Armenian and Russian culture, I’m drawn to the language of ornament—and when I started embroidery, I knew it would be far more joyful as a collective experience." — Shagoh, Founder

✥✥✥ "There are days when I think there is some huge great tapestry of a plan out there and we're all woven into it - this fabulous, complex pattern of life and death, full of recurring motifs and waves of color, and we're each one tiny thread in the weave.”― Jane Johnson
