For our second week, I collaborate with Denyse to bring you an experience of seeing and creating textile inspired projects. Morocco is a place rooted in magic, color and texture, it’s the perfect backdrop for exploring what moves you! Denyse is a super star inspiration! Her grounded, “from the heart” take on handwork and stitching has inspired thousands of folks globally. She’ll be sharing her process that guides her creative work and life as a designer as well as lead us through some intimate experiences with making. She’s an old soul that sees the world through a lens of generosity and uber creativity.--
