Spend your Sunday morning exploring, making, and creating in the ArtLab studio during this community drop-in for adults.  This month, teaching artist Crickett Warner will guide us through a demonstration on visible mending. Participants are encouraged to bring a piece of denim or stiff cotton or canvas clothing that needs repair. Learn a new process, work on an independent project or play with materials with artists of all abilities. Attendance is limited to 20 participants and is first come first served. All materials supplied and free coffee provided by Rock City Café!

Bio

A life-long fiber creator, Crickett learned to sew, quilt, and knit from her grandmother. With thrift and hip-ness in mind, she patched her first pair of jeans in the mid-70’s and has been rescuing clothing ever since. Following the fashion of recent years, Crickett acquired a pair of ripped jeans (yes, she paid extra for the holes) and soon found that her knees were chilly. Employing traditional Japanese philosophy of boro + sashiko stitching technique and scraps of cotton + linen from her stash, she soon warmed up and began to create wearable art.
