Inspired by our current exhibition, What That Quilt Knows About Me, the American Folk Art Museum is collaborating with the Textile Arts Center to host a workshop that honors the textile traditions of quilting, mending, and social gathering. Materials and a beverage will be provided with entry. Hosted by current Textile Arts Center Artist In Residence Cycle 14, M.E. Guadalupe Rubi. Come with your projects and leave with new friends and freshly patched wares. We hope to see you there!
