MEDITATIVE EMBROIDERY COURSES
We offer embroidery courses as a meditative practice on top of the brand’s clothing design.
Embroidery serves as a physical outlet that engages our creative muscle and exercises the mind in a single-focused manner.
Our approach to teaching is to prioritize playfulness, and exploration over perfectionism, while learning specific techniques that can help in a decorative and practical way. Our West Asian embroidery classes delve into the techniques we use in our clothing.

What People Are Saying
"This was a wonderful workshop series. I thought the classes were easily accessible to people at all levels. As a beginner, I didn’t feel rushed and felt like I could complete a presentable and proud piece of work by the end of the three sessions. I also loved the presentations on fashion sustainability and embroidery as a healing tool for those dealing with trauma. I felt like I learned a lot while developing a new skill that felt impossible before these classes! For anyone considering learning and embroidering with Tala, I would highly recommend! "
