Knots and Thoughts, Embroidery as Resistance: A hands-on workshop for stitching text onto fabric (no previous sewing ability required!)
Do you have lots of thoughts? Do those thoughts get tied up in knots?
Do you wish you could protest in the streets but have to go to work, make dinner, or get your kid to their soccer practice instead?
Do you want to tell the whole world what you think but are afraid of public speaking?
Come converse with a community that wants to unravel their knotted thoughts, and help each other gather and trim them into a word or phrase of protest to be sewn onto a t-shirt or tea towel- that will really make a point!
44.4 will provide:
Connection Sunday, May 31st 3-5pm
Conversation about textile art, artists, and subtle acts of resistance
Creation of a hand sewn text piece using basic embroidery stitches- kit provided
You’ll need to bring an article of clothing like a t-shirt, sweatshirt, tea towel/ outrage you want to channel!
Cost $40.00
