In person / Exhibition / Knitting
Macy is hosting this multimedia exhibition, which will show all of the steps she took in this process including: shearing, washing raw fleece, picking and carding fleece, spinning yarn, dyeing with natural dyes, and knitting.
The steps will be shown through writing, videos, photos, as well as pieces of fiber for the audience to see, touch, and smell for themselves. Macy will also be doing a few spinning demonstrations throughout the night for people to see.
Macy is a content creator and serial textile hobbyist who has now undertaken her biggest textile project to date: going from sheep to sweater. Her previous work as a video producer for Morning Brew includes becoming a plumber, working in a hotdog cart, and following her tech waste on its downstream recycling journey. Most of her work explores the idea of going behind the scenes, and seeing how things are made.
