Sweater revitalized by Anna-Lena Hamann.
Led by Laurie Lambrecht and Anna-Lena Hamann
$25 ($22.50 for Members)
By demand, we have added another session!
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.
This lunchtime Art Social admission fee will include a complimentary coffee, tea, or soft drink, and pastries.

Laurie Lambrecht
Laurie Lambrecht is a native of Bridgehampton, is a visual artist working in photography and fiber. Her work is an observation of the natural world, merging eye and hand in her lens and fiber-based work. Her first career as a sweater designer heightened her awareness of the tactile qualities and nuances of pattern and color found in nature. Her work especially celebrates trees: their form, subtlety, and enduring presence. Laurie has taught bookmaking and weaving workshops at numerous art museums and art centers.
In 2019, she presented her first outdoor site-specific installation of weavings and photographs at the Madoo Garden Conservancy as a Road Show artist with the Parrish Art Museum. Since then, she has created installations at the Watermill Center, Sylvester Manor, and the Leiber Collection Garden, among others. Her installation Into the Woods at the Nassau County Museum of Art was funded by a 2023 Project Grant from NYSCA.
Lambrecht’s photographs are in the collection of museums including the National Gallery of Art, The Center for Creative Photography, Guild Hall, and the Parrish Art Museum. She has had numerous solo exhibitions in the US and abroad. Lambrecht has been a participant at artist residencies including The American Academy in Rome; The Watermill Center; the Rauschenberg Residency; and KH Messen in Norway.
