Guided by the spirit of sustainability, we’ll repurpose fabric scraps into vibrant, hanging sculptures—breathing new life into once-forgotten materials and celebrating creativity that cares for our planet.
This event invites participants of all ages and backgrounds to explore textile art in a welcoming and inclusive space. All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary.
This event is part of the Stitching Stories workshop and exhibition series. This is a collaboration between the Heritage Museum of Asian Art and the HerArt Foundation, supported by Healing Illinois.
