WORKSHOPS

grandma’s family tree was a wall of photos 

WHERE: Moskowitz Gallery, Turchin Center for Visual Art
WHEN: March 7, 2025, 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm

FREE! Open to ages and all experience levels and will use basic weaving techniques.

OVERVIEW: 

Collaborative project honors entryway walls adorned with family photos, the muscle memory of intergenerational handwork, and sharing space to strengthen community. Drawing inspiration from the 22nd Appalachian Mountain Photography Competition’s curatorial themes—”senses of kinship and belonging” and “diverse roots, complex connections, and entangled relationships”—Andrea will lead a community weaving session using picture frames, photo paper, and thread. This floating event welcomes participants to spend the full evening creating or just a few minutes to weave a single section. The culmination of our collaborative handwork will serve as a record—a snapshot of a particular moment in time together—holding space for our diverse and complex relationships with one another and Appalachia.

The finished artworks will hang in the Moskowitz Gallery nook. Over time, the color of our woven paper will slowly shift–the chemical makeup of the silver gelatin paper changes with the influence of time and sunlight–transitioning from white to pale greens, then dark purplish-black. Hints of our fingerprints might remain present, and the areas not exposed to light, hidden under warp threads, will remain unchanged.

Reworking Textiles For Function and Concept 

WHERE:  Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts
WHEN: November 6 - 9, 2025

Open to All Skill Levels

OVERVIEW:

This beginner-friendly workshop is an introduction to transforming preowned textiles into something new. Focused on creative reuse, participants will learn rag rug-making techniques to repurpose materials like sentimental garments, old clothes, textile home goods, and fabric scraps. Students may work conceptually or focus on making functional rag rugs, exploring multiple methods including crochet, knotless netting, no-sew braiding, and hand and machine sewing. Students will create samples and leave with either a small completed project or the skills to finish a larger in-progress piece. Students are encouraged to bring textiles to use and also participate in a materials swap. All skill levels are welcome.
