A Morning of Creative Connection and Cultural Celebration

Join us for rejuvenating mornings with @folk.lounge, set in some of Los Angeles’ most inspiring locations. This is more than an embroidery gathering—it’s a sanctuary where creativity, community, and cultural storytelling come alive through needle and thread. Whether you’re just beginning or have been stitching for years, you’re invited to bring a project or start something new, and immerse yourself in a circle that nurtures both skill and soul.

Let’s celebrate the rich tapestry of global stitch traditions, honoring Armenian, Ukrainian, Russian, European, Scandinavian, Japanese, Pacific Islander, Asian, Iranian, Palestinian, Middle Eastern, Tusian, Moroccan, Ethiopian, African, Mexican, Guatemalan, Peruvian, and Indigenous American heritage. Every culture and thread tells a story, and together, we weave new connections and memories.

Come as you are, and leave inspired. Post your stories and photos with #folklounge, and be part of a vibrant, growing community that cherishes craft, culture, and connection.

✥✥✥ “Every stitch carries a whisper from the past, a light from the future. I created this series to connect generations through shared spaces where we can learn, create, and celebrate together. With roots in Armenian and Russian culture, I’m drawn to the language of ornament—and when I started embroidery, I knew it would be far more joyful as a collective experience.” — Shagoh, Founder

• Seating: We gather on large blankets in shaded areas; feel free to bring a chair or cushion for extra comfort.
• Bring Essentials: Water, snacks, and sun protection (hats, caps, or long sleeves) are recommended as the day warms. This is a substance-free space.
• Parking: We choose spots with accessible, free public parking. Carpooling is encouraged! On busy weekends, lots may fill up, but additional free parking is usually available nearby.
• Weather: Rain or shine, we continue! If it rains, we’ll gather indoors or under a sheltered area.For Beginners: All levels and genders are welcome! Just a needle, thread, and fabric square will get you started. First-timers can use our starter kits, and if you already have supplies at home, bring them along for more options. Have extra supplies? Donate them to our community! Check out Remainders, a local reuse shop with free and discounted materials.

  For Experienced Crafters: Bring your favorite supplies and whatever inspires you.

  For Parents: This event is kid & teen friendly and neurodivergent-inclusive. Parental supervision is required, and many venues have nearby playgrounds to accommodate little ones.

  For Elders: Bring your loved ones! Make sure they know about the setup so they can bring anything they need for comfort. We’d love to welcome them and hope they’ll join us again.Flow Together
