Fabric Manipulation Workshop: Creating a Fabric Butterfly Wish

This Earth Month, celebrate the beauty of fabric transformation and repurposed textiles at the Triton Museum. Join sustainable artist Leila Ghasempor for a hands-on workshop to learn a unique fabric manipulation technique.

You will create your own "Fabric Butterfly Wish"—a delicate piece of beaded textile art that honors the planet. Your creation can be worn as a brooch, pendant, hair pin, or bag charm.

Please note: basic sewing skills are necessary for attending this workshop. Hot glue guns will also be featured.
