level 1 - Inspiration & Exploration

A morning of creative connection and cultural celebration
Join us every four Saturdays for rejuvenating mornings with @folk.lounge, set in some of Los Angeles’ most inspiring locations. Come to see 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.

Brand Library & Art Center, Glendale CA
White Spanish-colonial towers emerge from lush foliage in this thirty-one-acre sanctuary at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains. Japanese gardens with koi ponds meet Mediterranean elegance, while trails wind from manicured grounds into wild chaparral slopes. We meet in the middle of the central staircase towards the shade of the hill and trees.

“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.”
