Stitched Memories: A Mother’s Day Bookmaking Workshop at Oolite Arts

Join artists Diana Larrea and Kiki Chrinos for a special one-day workshop that invites mothers and their daughters or sons to reconnect through a shared creative process. Using personal photographs from family archives, participants will explore simple embroidery techniques to transform their images and reflect on the memories they hold.

Together, each pair will create a small handmade book using a Japanese stab-binding technique, turning their photographs into a tactile narrative. Designed as a meaningful way to celebrate Mother’s Day, the workshop offers a space to slow down, share stories, and create something lasting together.
