Sweater revitalized by Anna-Lena Hamann.
Led by Laurie Lambrecht and Anna-Lena Hamann
$25 ($22.50 for Members)
Join us for the new series, Art Social, where attendees will enter into a supportive and judgment-free session of art/craftmaking and socializing. Bring your friends and expect to make new ones while tapping into your creative selves. Workshops will be led by experts in their practice, and the projects are designed to be easily and enjoyably accomplished by all skill levels.
Do you have a piece of clothing that could use a creative touch to bring it back into your wardrobe circulation? For our first Art Social, don’t miss this opportunity to revitalize an item a special way. We will use needle felting to repair small holes or wear and tear and embellish the pieces with personalized motifs or other creative designs. In this way, you can give your garment a personal and sustainable touch.
Please bring an item or items you wish to revitalize. All other materials will be provided. The Art Social admission fee includes a complimentary glass of wine/beer/soft drink and lite bites.
