Gibsons Public Art Gallery: Free Community Stitch Session with Carlyn Yandle

Join exhibiting artist Carlyn Yandle for a free Community Stitch Session. Drawing on the scrap-quilt tradition of making something out of nothing, each participant is invited to hand stitch an improvisational 12 in. quilt block; a literal building block that can then be used as a personal artwork, use/gift object, or as a contribution to the ongoing ‘Hearth’ social engagement art project. All materials required are supplied, although participants are welcome to bring their own old clothes or fabrics to incorporate into their block if they wish. Learn a new life skill, create with other makers in our community, learn more from Carlyn Yandle about her artwork and her creative process, and find new ways to recycle old clothing and fabrics.

This event is free to attend and registration is not required. Find more information about Carlyn Yandle, her exhibition Joyful Making in Perilous Times, and her ongoing social-engagement art project ‘Hearth” online at www.gpag.ca.
