Embroidery Collage Workshop with Pangea Kali Virga, Saturday January 17th at 12:30 pm
This Saturday at ARRAE, we are hosting a hands on workshop with Miami based textile artist Pangea Kali Virga. If you have been curious about bringing texture, layering, and stitching into your practice, this is a beautiful entry point. You will learn how to build a collage composition and then bring it to life through embroidery, turning simple materials into something intentional, personal, and tactile.

What we will be making
Pangea will guide participants through an approachable process that combines collage and embroidery. Expect a relaxed, creative pace with plenty of room for experimentation. This is about building a small textile work through layering, composition, and stitch, with an emphasis on working thoughtfully with what you already have.
If you would like to bring materials, feel free to bring any of the following:
-Fabric scraps, old clothing, or linen offcuts
-Paper ephemera, photocopies, or small images
-Threads, yarn, ribbon, or anything you have been saving for “the right project”
