Handiwork, A Community Finger Crochet Project
In person / Workshop / Crochet
Handiwork, A Community Finger Crochet Project is an open invitation for participants to learn how to finger crochet and grow a collaborative form from recycled textiles. Together we will intertwine recycled fibers, giving new life to the fabric and offsetting textile waste.
This workshop will use collected and donated materials to create interconnected chains. It is an opportunity to learn how to make fabric yarn from t-shirts, bed sheets, table clothes, and other clothes. While donations will be used to create this artwork, any clothing suitable to pass onto children and families will be donated to the Kid Zone Distro, a community organization supporting migrant families.
The crocheted chains will be collected and added to an outdoor installation for the upcoming Rooted Resistance: Art, Care, and Environmental Activism exhibition at Old Stone House, Washington Park in Park Slope, Brooklyn opening October 16th. Follow @oldstonehousebklyn and www.theoldstonehouse.org for more information about the exhibition!
