Armed with a sewing machine as a drawing tool and electronic devices to form sound, Ricky will tell a story using thread, crinoline, and noise. Partly an experiment and partly an instructional video, this presentation will utilize the space and its participants in order to create a unique experience in stitching. — Ricky Katowicz
Free with museum admission.
