Description

Join instructor and artist Clare Murray Adams for a Tie-On Pocket workshop! Historically, pockets were an accessory that women from 1600 through the early 1900s wore independent of their clothing. In these pockets they carried all kinds of things—pencils, thimbles, keys, pictures and more. In this workshop led by artist and instructor Clare Murray Adams on Saturday, May 15, from 1:00-4:00pm, participants will create a fabric pocket that can be tied around their waists to carry a variety of today’s useful objects such as money, a small notebook, even a cell phone. With a kit of fabrics, ribbon, threads and embellishments and using hand sewing and simple embroidery techniques they will individualize their pocket the way our female ancestors did. Each kit contains items that will make it unique. Simple hand sewing will make it personal just as individual stitches personalize a quilt or a mended garment. Explore the Women of Resilience exhibition in the Aultman Health Foundation Gallery before or after the workshop!
