Process as Power - Materiality and Unexpected Forms
Connect with other knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, and other textile makers during this collective making session led by fiber artist and museum educator, Lola Rael.
Bring your own fiber project to work on as we explore Liz Collins: Motherlode, our current exhibition that uses the power of textiles as a form of expression and resistance. To gain inspiration for our own creative practices, we’ll discuss Collins’ experiments with unexpected materials and construction techniques that characterize her genre-defying fiber art.
This program celebrates the traditions, skill, and personal meaning of diverse craft practices while fostering an inclusive and supportive space for makers of all levels.
Free. Registration requested for this in-person program.
The next Process as Power date is Thursday, November 13, 5:30-7:30 pm.
