Storytelling Through Fabric
At this workshop for teens and adults, we'll exhibit and discuss eight panels from Circles of My Life. Then each participant will create an 8"x8" Folded Star fabric wall hanging, like Birches below. No sewing skills are required. What's Your Story?
In this workshop, young participants will see eight panels from Circles of My Life fiber art exhibit, then create an 8"x8" Folded Star fabric storytelling prop, like Blue Bayou below left. No sewing skills are required. The young artists will also receive materials to create a wall hanging out of folded paper, like Marshall Point, above right.
