Come out and Celebrate Social Work Week with your Colleagues and Friends!
This workshop is kindly presented by our Association President, Barb Keith and explores how some quilts can promote social justice and some serve as objects of social action.
We will also have hands on practice at constructing a quilt, using multimedia and traditional design elements.
This will be an interactive session. If you wish, you can bring a needle and thread, fabric and embellishments. A notebook might be handy as well.
If this is a new handcraft for you, we will provide basic materials for you. It will be geared to the total novice, so don’t worry for a minute. Quilting bees in the eighteen and early nineteen hundreds were perfect opportunities for women to organize, and we know where that led. This workshop is inclusive of all genders and creative aptitudes. We promise lively conversation – radical and provocative notions welcome. (Or you could just come for good coffee and snacks and a laugh or three.)
Please RSVP by Sunday, March 4th so we can make sure that we have enough materials and goodies on hand for everyone.
We look forward to seeing you there for lots of fun, ideas, social work talk, and treats, too. There might even be a prize or two.
Don’t miss it!
Barb, Carol, Duncan
