Bring your stories and memories to this hands-on fiber workshop that we are hosting on October 11th! Begin your morning with an optional custom tour of the current handwork exhibit (The Stitches Between Us: Women’s Handwork & Our Shared Stories), offered by museum staff at 9 am. At 9:30, we’ll gather for introductions and warming refreshments, while Artist Facilitators Janet and Lily share their work to inspire and guide. We’ll follow with reflection on significant people, places, objects, and experiences from our pasts, and set intentions for our personal work. We’ll consider layout and composition, construction methods, embellishment choices, and techniques for transferring photos onto paper and cloth. In the afternoon, we’ll assemble our curated collection of fabric, notions, images, and objects, experimenting with functional and decorative stitches (we welcome you to bring your favorite stitches to share!). Wind down over tea and goodies, and we’ll celebrate your work from 3:30 - 4 pm.This workshop welcomes experienced and novice stitchers alike. All materials are provided, while participants are also encouraged to bring their own treasured keepsakes, photos, mementos, and fabrics to incorporate.
