About Hand Embroidery with Teresa Ruiz
Elevate your style by translating the precision of mixed-media art onto fabric. In this hands-on workshop series, we will upcycle clothing into wearable art using structural hand embroidery. Learn to design, map, and execute striking textile interventions on modern silhouettes, concluding with an exclusive tutorial on seamlessly integrating sequins for a contemporary, high-end shimmer.
Bring a wardrobe piece to transform. No textile experience required—just a passion for elevated design!

Ruiz is a Spanish visual artist based in Bermuda whose practice redefines analogue photography through the lens of fibre art. Using 35mm film as her canvas, she intervenes in images with hand-stitched embroidery, transforming static captures into tactile, vibrant narratives. Her practice extends to structural hand embroidery and contemporary textile interventions on fabric.
