Learn how to design and embroider motifs inspired by Armenian culture. Lizzy Vartanian will tell you about her work and then teach you how to stitch some of her designs which have been influenced by her Armenian heritage. Her embroidery is an effort to stitch a relationship with a culture she has been separated from as a consequence of migration. Much of her work is inspired by roots in Lebanon, Armenia, and Syria.

Materials will be provided.
