All are welcome, especially those with little sewing experience. Sashes made at this event will be collected and exhibited in the artists’ larger exhibition, Worn.
This event is organized in conjunction with the multi-site public art installation “Underpin and Overcoat,” both a part of the exhibition “Worn.”
