Memory Quilting - 3 Part Series

Using only clothing or otherwise alternative fabrics, students will experiment with narratives of change in the present while engaging with the pieces of fabric saturated with the past and create an object that lives & exists with a future.

Participants should bring alternative fabrics* that are meaningful, and BYO sewing machine or hand sewing kit.

*Clothing and napkins and bed sheets and aprons and towels and pillow cases hold us through all kinds of memory. This 3 session workshop is built around creating narrative and object from the materials of our memories. Students will be taught and guided through how to engage with and deconstruct challenging materials into usable fabric pieces while also being guided through questions and meditations of how memory is informing the work itself and the future of the finished piece. Be it memories of last summer, your grandmother, your ex, your trip to Greece, your eating disorder, your old apartment: memories that you want to hold onto, process through or else lay to rest, these workshops will support you both technically and mindfully on how to create while engaging with memory.
