Techniques in textile arts including dyeing, embroidery, weaving, and creating textile collages.

Who Should attend:

Beginners curious about textile arts.
Creatives interested in personal storytelling through textiles.
Anyone eager to learn basic textile techniques.
Why Attend:

Teaching Experience:

Francisco Berlanga is a Vancouver-based artist with a BFA from Simon Fraser University and an MFA from the University of British Columbia. His practice reflects on his relationship to his Mexican identity as a second-generation immigrant through the lens of craft. He explores how one can inhabit a culture while being partially absent from it, engaging in discourse with his identity through traditional Mexican crafts.
