An Invitation to Reflect and Engage Touchstone Cen

An Invitation to Reflect and Engage
Touchstone Center for Crafts invites you to the Free Your Mind Artist Talk with me, Theda Sandiford on Tuesday, September 24 at 6 p.m. ET. Register for the Zoom talk on the link in bio and prepare to be explore the nuances of microagressions.

Exploring Free Your Mind
Free Your Mind project is a public textile art installation that collects, showcases, and liberates personal narratives about microaggressions. This project not only highlights these experiences but also provides a platform for healing and awareness through art.

The installation evolves with each new story ribbon, keeping a public record of disempowering interactions, that can be exposed and talked about. Participants have the feeling of being seen and acknowledged while interacting with the work.

As the project travels, common themes centered in specific neighborhoods have emerged among the biases collected as Story Ribbons. 

Be Part of the Experience
Join us for this meaningful event that blends art with powerful storytelling. Please Register

I have been traveling for 3 weeks and putting in a couple hours each day building this hot pink rope with yarn and sari silk. The next step is to embellish and extenuate color pops with trim, eyelash yarn and pony beads. Stay tuned #workinprogress #artjournal #arttherapy #textiledesign

My friends are leading an intimate weaving worksho

My friends are leading an intimate weaving workshop at the Newark Museum on 9/21.

The goal of Reclaiming Our Weaving Traditions is to share passion for handweaving with those who have been historically, and continue to be, excluded from the fiber arts community. Folks from racial and ethnic groups that are disproportionately underrepresented among our region's handweaving guilds are encourage to sign up.

Link in my bio.

Designed for beginners, this workshop will explore the full process of turning yarn into fabric, from project planning, winding a warp, warping the loom, reading drafts, and finishing. By the end of the workshop, each student will have their own sampler to take home.

All equipment, supplies, and materials will be provided. No previous weaving experience is required. Class size is limited to 12.
Thank you @anne.choi for doing this work!!!
