This free program is in conjunction with Hunterdon Art Museum‘s exhibition, Companion Species (At What Cost): The Works of Marie Watt.
Sewing Circles are an essential part of Marie Watt’s work. Gather together with others to stitch pre-selected words onto panels made from pieces of reclaimed wool blankets. The panels often start with Indigenous points of view that become touchstones for cross-cultural knowledge sharing and connection between participants. Watt incorporates the panels into future artwork. In exchange for your time and stitches, you will receive a limited-edition print from the artist.
Come to sew, or just come to watch – all are welcome! Masks and proof of vaccination are required to participate.
Please call (212) 510-7646 or email [email protected] to RSVP with your name and number of people in your party. You will then be assigned a 1-hour time slot to attend on the day of the event. At that time your proof of vaccination will also be requested.
This program is made possible by generous funding from The Coby Foundation, Ltd.
