Over the course of a 3 hour workshop, participants will explore embroidery as a gestural and painterly medium, treating needle and thread much like brush and paint. A floating embroidery technique is introduced to further encourage freedom and spontaneity. This approach to embroidery makes space for personal expression, encouraging participants to feel their way through the medium rather than following a fixed pattern or design. This workshop is fit for all levels. All materials are provided. You will come away from this workshop with a small hand embroidered work. The image that participants embroider will be inspired by abstract paintings from the current exhibition at Varley. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/540d3db0-33e4-11f1-99a0-e133baf342d3-rimg-w493-h740-dca9a48f-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/544dc920-33e4-11f1-815c-a90acb8b9ebc-rimg-w493-h740-dc5e362b-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/markham/painting-with-thread-with-artist-par-nair/100001986928580872 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, fine-arts, exhibitions, crafts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Markham - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Varley Art Gallery of Markham - **lat**: 43.8693379 - **long**: -79.31269120000002 - **full address**: Varley Art Gallery of Markham, 216 Main Street Unionville, Markham, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Painting with Thread with artist Par Nair - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/a51d0f5891d0bea33d2e8c48759fdb15650f835d78d3beb48c03302a29edd97e-rimg-w1200-h1800-dcbe8d1b-gmir.jpg?v=1775719211 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Painting with Thread with artist Par Nair being held? - **A:** Painting with Thread with artist Par Nair takes place on Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Varley Art Gallery of Markham, 216 Main Street Unionville, Markham, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Painting with Thread with artist Par Nair? - **A:** Painting with Thread with artist Par Nair is organized by Varley Art Gallery of Markham. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
