We unite master artisans and cultural stewards to revive ornamental traditions and cultivate living heritage through embodied practice and ceremonial craft.
Our methodology bridges ancient wisdom with contemporary markets, empowering cultural sovereignty, authoring luminous experiences that awaken community connections and animate artistic lineages.
ART COLLECTIVE
“Every thread carries a whisper from the past and the light from the future. I created Folk Lounge to connect generations through shared spaces where we can learn, create, and celebrate culture together. With roots in Armenian and Russian culture, I’m drawn to the grammar of ornament across cultures. As I deepen in my practice in textiles, art, illustration and craft, I knew it would be far more joyful as a collective experience.”
Thank you so much for your support and being a part of our journey. Founded in 2024, Folk Lounge embarked to expand & connect the creative community.
We are extremely grateful for all our creatives, artisans, clients, partners & mentors. It means the world to be part of this beautiful moment, to receive and to give knowledge, to behold lineages of stories, symbolism, patterns & mythologies.

Join us for a series of events hosted by @_shagho (she/her) artist and community facilitator, exploring Ernest Batchelder's ornamental legacy through nature's hidden patterns. Eucalyptus seed pods crack into star forms, California live oak acorns nest in textured caps, and Anna's hummingbird throats flash ruby coin-sized patches—patterns waiting for hands working clay, paper, leather, and found materials.
