The Mary Olson Farm Artist in Residence Amanda Triplett will host a Free Community Workshop during her time on the Mary Olsen Farm as part of her residency. (This workshop from 1:00-3:00 PM is part of her Open Studio Day from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM.)
In this two hour workshop, we welcome folks of all ages to join us in layering, coiling, cutting and stitching fabric to create biomorphic, sculptural textiles. Participants will experiment with different ways of manipulating and playing with textile scraps through winding, knotting, stitching, and wild experimentation. Drawing inspiration from patterns found in nature, artists will then layer and sew their material experiments together onto fabric on an embroidery hoop. Artists will then use beads and embroidery thread to embellish and finish their work.
