  Bring your light to the surface—one sequin at a time.

  In this six-week journey, you’ll be introduced to the vibrant world of Art Drapoinspired sequin work through intentional, meditative stitching and structured creative practice.

  Each week builds upon foundational techniques while leaving space for individual expression and intuitive flow. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance, creative troubleshooting, and energy-centered check-ins, including short meditations and uplifting spiritual encouragement woven into our creative time together.

  Whether you’re a first-time sequin stitcher or a seasoned textile artist seeking a new meditative medium, this course is designed to both teach and inspire. All materials are included and yours to keep
