January | Hybrid Style + Form

Join in a livestream ArtLab workshop led by Community Arts Educator Alexis Iammarino on Saturday, January 2nd.

This month, we take our creative lead from Biennial artists Baxter Koziol and Isabelle Maschal O’Donnell to connect the practice of painting with fiber arts and object making. Join us to create abstract and  intuitive compositions in 2D and 3D form, using textile and craft techniques like sewing, quilt piecing, and fabric dyeing with household spices and teas.

Following the livestream, participants are invited to join a Zoom call at 3:40pm to share and discuss their work. Email Alexis at aiammarino@cmcanow.org for the Zoom link.

Prep at home in advance for the workshop

Suggested materials:

• Clean fabric scraps, assorted papers, tin foil, cotton balls, paper towels, tissue paper, used wrapping papers or brown paper bags.
