STUDIO 24: Data Weaving : Collective Weaving Project In-Person
How can we visually imagine ideas about democracy? Together, we will weave patterns into cloth, creative a collaborative textile. Our Makers in Resicence will create a coded system to translate words/phrases about democracy (either sourced from the LTC plays/community conversations or the "ballot" boxes) that will be scored for weaving. At the workshop, patrons will learn about the process of translating words into patterns, how to read the patterning sequence, and operate the looms. We will put democracy into action and weave our ideas and thoughts together.
Welcome to our first Maker in Residence program at STUDIO 24! We are pleased to partner with local artists Heather Schulte and Steven Frost: our Maker’s in Residence for our Fiber Arts focused studio. During our 3-month Fiber Studio, we invite patrons to take a deep dive into all things Fiber with workshops, classes, and drop-in activities centering skills in sewing, weaving, spinning, needlework, and beyond!
