Join us for a cozy afternoon of Fall Embroidery at Evergreen Brick Works on October 11 or 18! Learn four essential embroidery stitches to create pumpkins, gourds, leaves and more. Over three hours, which will start with a brief introduction, hands-on demonstrations and time to practice, we will work together as you create your very own embroidered artwork.
All materials will be provided. Everyone is welcome to join in, no matter what your level of stitching might be. Children under 14 must be supervised by an adult. This event will take place rain or shine. Please keep an eye out for an email with more information after you purchase your tickets. Tickets are $30!
About your instructor:
Sarah Zanchetta (she/they) is an artist, educator, and writer whose textile practice dives into her loss of connection to nature through hands-on mending and research of poisonous plants. She questions what it means to be in kinship with the poisonous, creating intimate works as a space to unfold curiosities, care, and anxieties about what grows beneath our feet.
Zanchetta is a graduate of the Master of Visual Studies Studio program at the University of Toronto and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from OCAD University. Her practice has been supported by the Ontario Arts Council, and has collaborative community-based work in the permanent collections of the Kortright Centre for Conservation and Evergreen Brick Works. Their work has been shown internationally, with most recent exhibitions at Fais-Moi L’Art (Montreal, Canada) and the plumb (Toronto, Canada).
