## About this plan

A free plan in Bogota for people who love needle and thread. Biblioteca Publica Virgilio Barco is hosting its second embroidery circle, and this time the theme is the facades that give the city its look. The idea is simple and lovely. You look at Bogota through its doors, balconies, windows, and bricks, then translate that architecture into small textile pieces.

The session mixes fabric painting with traditional embroidery. Paint colors the backgrounds, thread draws textures and raised details, and stitch by stitch the lines of those facades appear. Facades we all walk past without noticing. It is a workshop for sharing, learning, and celebrating the capital during its month.

If you want a cultural, free, and different plan in Bogota, this is a great stop.
