Sentimental Stitches: Baybayin Embroidery with Niko Klasiko (Session 1)
Join us at No Strangers for a sweet evening creating mixed-media Baybayin collages featuring your favourite photos! See this reel for inspiration.
Baybayin is one of over 20 pre-colonial scripts written in the Philippines prior to the arrival of the Spanish in the late 1500s. It’s characterized by flowing shapes, vowel-based syllables and is a reclamation of artistic traditions in the Filipino diaspora.
We'll start the workshop with a short demo and an introduction to Baybayin, then prep your photos (we can either print an existing image or take new ones!) by mounting them on a cardstock base.
From there, you'll choose your cross-stitch templates from a library of Baybayin characters and decorative shapes—and then it's time to start stitching!
We'll teach you the basics of cross-stitch and guide you through the process of creating a meaningful piece for yourself or your loved ones. You'll leave with a finished collage as well as a zine packed with information on Baybayin's history.
All materials and light refreshments are included. :)
Refunds & Exchanges
No Strangers is run by one person (hi, I'm Viv!) which means every dollar goes towards operational costs to keep the studio afloat. As a result, all ticket sales are final and cannot be refunded. Please purchase mindfully!
If you can't make the event and would like to transfer your ticket to a friend or exchange it for another (equivalently priced) workshop down the line, email me at hey@nostrangers.world and we can figure it out!
Photography & Video Notice
We take photos and videos at all our events to document and promote experiences at the space (so future friends can find us)! Please note that by purchasing a ticket, you are agreeing to be captured on camera and potentially featured in marketing material.
See you soon!
