Curated Textile Workshops for New and Seasoned Makers Alike
Kon Korazon Designs offers welcoming, flexible workshops designed around your interests, your pace, and—if you’d like—your language of choice.
Sessions can be taught in English, French, or Spanish.
Whether you’re looking for a gentle introduction, a focused single‑session experience, or a creative deep dive, we’ll shape a workshop that feels right for you. Private group bookings are also available if you’d like to learn with friends or a small community.
I also work with schools and guilds to create customized sessions for learners of all ages.
As an OCT‑certified teacher with experience in both the OCDSB and OCSB, I’m happy to design a special lesson—or a series of lessons—that supports your curriculum or creative goals.
Every thread has a tale. Will this be the start of yours?
