In a workshop specifically for college and university students, led by artist Emmanuelle Chammah, participants will see how making can transform into a powerful act of personal and collective storytelling. In this textile workshop, students will learn fundamental techniques of embroidery and sewing, guided by Emmanuelle's unique approach that celebrates the depth of handcraft. Participants will create fabric amulet necklaces that honor their communities and loved ones through careful stitching and intentional design. Through tactile exploration and careful crafting, participants will develop not just technical skills, but a deeper understanding of how art can serve as a bridge between personal history and collective experience.  

This program is free and open to all college and university students. Space is limited and registration is required. 

This program is part of "Art for Our Sake: Creative Wellbeing at the Carlos," a day of workshops and pop-up programs throughout the galleries and across the museum that incorporates dance, visual art, writing, music, and more. Participants are encouraged to engage in art forms that they feel drawn to, led by practicing artists, and utilize the arts as a tool to support mental wellbeing, process grief, and healing.
