Together with Tradition Now we explored the creative possibilities of silk cocoon embroidery. We learned about the crafts historical heritage, familiarized with the material and experimented with narrating our own stories through this craft. Thank you Tradition Now for the opportunity to come together and create this large collective embroidery embedded with stories and thoughts.
