Tenango Style Embroidery Series – Painting with Thread


  • Ozark Folkways @ Fayetteville Folk School 207 W Center St Fayetteville, AR 72701 United States (map)

Join us for a four-week journey into the vibrant world of Tenango embroidery, a traditional art form from the Otomí communities of Hidalgo, Mexico. In this series, you’ll learn the foundations of color selection, how to “paint” with thread using signature fill stitches, and the cultural stories behind the whimsical animals and flowers found in Tenango designs.

This technique is relaxing, expressive, and beginner-friendly—no experience needed. Kits are provided and available in a variety of colors and patterns so each participant can create a unique piece.

This class is a series of four Wednesdays beginning on February 11, 2026, through March 4, 2026. The fee of $170 includes all four classes and all materials needed.
