Otomi Embroidery

Taught by Kathryn Nerison

July 1, 2025 - 10 AM

July 21, 2025 - 7 PM

Otomi embroidery originates from the Otomi people who have lived in a heavily populated region in central Mexico for thousands of years. It is sometimes known as Tanango and depicts stylized figures of symbolic animals, plants, and rural life scenes that preserve cultural history. It is stitched on cotton fabric using cotton or wool threads. We will stitch an Otomi bird on a white cotton background with colorful cotton embroidery floss using the Otomi stitch, which is similar to the herringbone stitch.
