Piece Play Propagate: Flag

Piecework is a conceptually and culturally-rich method for assembling parts joined together through a variety of fiber processes. In this workshop you will learn to create textile surfaces through a number of techniques, including piecing, dyeing, beading, weaving, and appliqué. You will gather and play with a variety of materials with personal or cultural significance while "growing" their surfaces through layering or repetition. As the work progresses, you will begin to think about creating a structure in the form of a flag. A variety of contemporary artists’ flag pieces will be introduced and we will examine the ways that flags can proclaim space, nature, country, and identity and/or communicate distress, emergencies, or secrets.

All experience levels are welcome.
