Textile Retreat

If you enjoy hands-on creativity, this embroidery retreat offers a chance to explore color and texture in a relaxed setting. Han Cao guides you through a series of projects that start with simple stitches and gradually introduce more complex, layered techniques. You’ll work with both fabric and paper, discovering how to build depth and character in your pieces. The multi-day format gives you time to develop your skills at a comfortable pace, whether you’re new to embroidery or looking to expand your craft. Beyond just learning stitches, you’ll experience the satisfaction of turning basic materials into bold, dimensional artwork. The retreat encourages experimentation, so you can find your own style while following Han’s playful approach. It’s a chance to focus on a tactile, creative process that feels both meditative and rewarding. Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll leave with new skills and a fresh appreciation for the art of embroidery.
