"I'd been wanting to embroider for personal projects for months but didn't know where to start. Joining Embroidery Social at Barnsdall Park was easy—I learned basic stitches while seeing more advanced possibilities based on the projects around me. I met some cool folks and discovered a new park too."

"I've been practicing textile techniques on my own for many years. Working with Folk Lounge opened up a whole new side of cultural work I can engage with. It's given me a real pathway to work in cultural stewardship and get my practice out there."

"Folk Lounge plays with embroidery as a technology for thinking, creativity and joy. The combination of storytelling & technique really helps people connect with the universal need to express their experience."
