Participants will have the option to adapt or expand the design into a full quilt if desired. This workshop is open to quilters, sewists, and fiber enthusiasts of all experience levels—beginners welcome!
What Makes It Unique
Kena’s workshops are rooted in storytelling, heritage, and creative exploration. Using authentic African wax prints, she guides participants through symbolic design work.
