Art After Work: Appliqué Quilted Clothing with feltgirlworld

Every third Thursday, IAM stays open until 8 pm with after-hours programming designed to help you end your day inspired. It’s time to make your clothing more special. In this workshop, Rachel (@feltgirlworld) will teach the basics of applique quilting to transform items like a shirt, pants or bag into something handmade and uniquely yours! No experience necessary and all sewing materials provided, BUT please BYO piece of clothing! Pre-sale tickets for the workshop are pay-what-you-want. Each tier ticket is for the same experience and materials. Tickets at the door, if available, will be the cost of regular Museum admission.

She plays with color and personification, queering quotidian objects and digital ephemera into their most maximal expression, building a world where furniture smiles, quilts talk, and the Internet becomes soft and silky beneath your fingertips. With her partner Olivia, she runs Francine's, an art studio & shop in Edgewater. Registration is encouraged.
