Celebrate the official launch of Common Thread, a Filipino American artist collective rooted in SOMA Pilipinas. Inspired by the Filipino tradition of the debut, this evening is our coming-of-age moment for our community.

Hand-stitch your own 3D printed patches alongside Common Thread artists. Leave with a one-of-a-kind patch to adorn your clothing, bags, or accessories.

Turn scraps into treasures! Using fabric remnants from Common Thread’s own "The Debut" exhibition, you’ll create unique embroidered patches that give new life to old garments. Bring your favorite jacket, tote, or accessory to stitch onto—or just create stand-alone patches to take home.

Spend a Sunday morning immersed in community, creativity, and café vibes. Learn to paint motifs inspired by traditional Philippine textiles in watercolor. (Weather pending - we may move this one of a kind workshop outdoors! Bring a hat, SPF, and a banig, or whatever keeps you comfy.)
