What We Offer

Hands-on workshops that bring Lithuanian textile traditions to life, whether you're picking up needles for the first time or refining skills you've already started.

Lithuanian Folk Pattern Fundamentals

Start here if you want to understand the story behind the patterns. We walk you through the history, regional variations, and symbolism of traditional Lithuanian textiles in a relaxed, small-group setting. You'll learn to recognize patterns from different parts of Lithuania and understand why certain colors and designs matter culturally.

Knitting Traditional Patterns

Perfect if you already know how to knit and want to level up with authentic folk patterns. Our sessions run twice weekly for 90 minutes each, covering color work, stranded knitting, and how to read traditional pattern charts. By the end, you'll be able to create wearables—socks, sweaters, hats—that genuinely reflect Lithuanian heritage.

Sewing Folk Textile Projects

Turn fabric into finished pieces using traditional sewing techniques. Whether you're making decorative items, traditional garments, or modern projects with folk-inspired patterns, we'll show you proper finishing, hand-stitching methods, and how to work with both modern and natural fabrics the way craftspeople have for generations.

Natural Dyes & Color Traditions

Discover how traditional Lithuanian dyers created colors from plants, roots, and minerals. In this workshop series, you'll experiment with natural dyeing methods still used today, learning which plants produce which shades and how to achieve the characteristic colors you see in historical textiles.
