I’ve been itching to try my hand at it. Do you think they have materials for beginners in those master classes?
Mzevinar Iremadze herself was there, her hands moving deftly as she shared stories about the patterns and their meanings-each stitch a piece of history, a whisper of the past. I can’t help but think about my grandmother, a seamstress who used to sit for hours at her machine, creating garments that had stories of their own.
The idea of passing down such a skill seems daunting yet beautiful. It's like each thread has a life of its own, right? I’m curious, do they offer any beginner kits for those of us who might want to dabble in this art at home?
