Textile artist Gilda Strano returns to WAO Hub in Altos de Chavón this Friday, November 14, at 4 p.m., for a Holiday Edition of her fiber art workshop, an interactive session that blends creativity, relaxation and purpose.
The event will once again benefit the Hogar del Niño, continuing Strano’s commitment to using art as a tool for community support.
Led by the seasoned Venezuelan artist Gilda Strano, renowned for her ten-year tenure and acclaimed fashion line “Tullé,” the event promises a deep dive into macramé and an exploration of its therapeutic and creative dimensions. Based in the Dominican Republic, Strano has established herself with a thriving decoration business specializing in Boho Chic designs for hotels, restaurants, and residences. In addition to her artistic pursuits, she conducts workshops nationwide, offering entertainment and education.
Last year, Strano led Macramé for a Dream at the Altos de Chavón art gallery, also in support of the Hogar del Niño. The event drew participants from across the community for an afternoon of creative learning and philanthropy.
The Holiday edition of her workshop isn’t just about crafting beautiful pieces of art —it’s a chance to support the Patronato Benéfico Oriental. Participants will explore the intricate knotting technique that defines macramé, fostering creativity and offering a therapeutic escape. Beyond aesthetics, the process leads to a tranquil, mindful journey where thoughts quiet down and heart rates lower.
