Find Your Voice – Tapestry and Text Fiber Art Workshop

Sunday, October 29

Jewish Museum Milwaukee | 1360 N Prospect Ave, Milwaukee

Historically, fiber-based crafts have long been a source of inspiration for women from around the globe. In many cases, this ingenuity with thread, yarn, and cloth was dismissed by the art establishment as domestic handicraft, or more often, as menial labor. However, that attitude has begun to change.
In this hands-on workshop instructed by Leah Parkhurst, participants will incorporate text into tapestry weaving to explore often overlooked fiber-based materials and applications using repurposed and upcycled textiles donated by the community. Each participant will create their own unique tapestry square that will be displayed at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center before being incorporated into one collaborative installation.
