Upcycled Quilting Workshop at Dubai Design Week

Embroidery’s background is as diverse as our wonderful city: nearly every culture around the world has developed their own version of the artform. Yet, despite its long-standing tradition (the earliest known traces date back to 30000 BC) there is still room for innovation through the incorporation of unexpected materials.

Join me at the 6th edition of Dubai Design Week on November 12th for a unique upcycling workshop: Plastic Quilting! The participation fee is 50 dhs, Design Week events always fill up quickly and this year seats will be further limited so don't wait to reserve your spot!

Date: November 12th 2020 10am-12pm

Cost: 50 dhs, Material Included

 During this 2 hour workshop, participants will upcycle discarded packaging into modern artwork using traditional quilting patterns and embroidery techniques.

Once participants have selected a color range within our assortment of material, they will trace and cut the components of a quilting pattern. After the design is assembled, we will appliqué layers together using a “blanket stitch” technique to complete the quilting block.
