Christmas Embroidery Bookmarks
An afternoon of cute Christmas and Folklore symbols, colourful threads, and cozy autumn vibes.
This workshop opens our Craft-a-Gift series. At the end of every workshop, you'll have a finished handmade gift, ready to keep or to give. All wrapping materials are provided, including holiday stamps, and blank cards, so you can prepare your gift on the spot.
In Balkan villages, when the days grew short and cold, women gathered in one warm room to embroider together. They told stories (gossiped), and stitched their hopes and protections into cloth. We're bringing that tradition to Berlin.
November here is grey and dark by half four. So let's gather around a big table, pour some tea, and stitch like our grandmothers did. Come solo or with your besties. Everyone is welcome!
TUKA Creative Club is Berlin's playful space for grown-ups to reconnect with creativity, community, and their inner child.
What we'll do:
Learn the cross-stitch: the basic X stitch, how to read a pattern chart, and how to count your grid. Step by step, together, at a calm pace. No experience needed.
Stitch a symbol on a fabric bookmark: we will have patterns ready for you, beginner-friendly!
☕ Stories & community: tea, sweets, salty snacks, and a slow afternoon of shared warmth, just like the old winter gatherings.
