Sunday, April 6, 2014, 1-4pm: Common Threads
Explore how artists use embroidery as a tool in storytelling to apply new meaning to found photographs. Participants will collect images of the local community through online sources. Images will be printed onto iron on transfers to be placed onto fabric. Participants will add their own voice by applying words and/or images to the photographs to reinterpret the image using colored embroidery thread. Students will learn basic embroidery skills, how to navigate through the web to download free images, and collecting, storing, sharing, and printing images.
