Craft Hang

Sunday, December 12th, 2021 @ 1:00 Pm – 2:30 Pm

The Web of Connections symposium brings together artists from Interweavings and Remediations to share their work and exchange on the common topics and themes from these two exhibitions curated by Nicole Burisch and Sally Frater. This online gathering will include presentations and workshops around the intersections of technology, textiles, craft, and materiality.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

This is an open crafting workshop, facilitated by Gabrielle Trach. Participants are invited to grab a project (possibly that unfinished project that’s been tucked away), maybe a cozy beverage, and join in the tradition of crafting circles. There will be no formal instruction, but participants are encouraged to talk, share ideas, and gather in community.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Gabrielle Trach is a maker and educator based in Toronto, Canada. Her practice explores sustainability, identity, memory, the environmental impact of the textile industry, and the resurgence of historical textile techniques. Her practice is informed by research and theory surrounding fashion, identity, and sustainability.
