Inspired by trend forecaster Li Edelkoort’s prediction that “Extravagant Brooches” are trending, we’ll make one ourselves! The workshop will begin with an artist talk by celebrated textile and performance artist Heidi Hankaniemi, followed by a hands-on session. Join Heidi on a quest to repurpose vintage embroideries and sew a brooch on a backing of industrial felt with a brooch clasp. Materials are provided, but if you have any old embroideries that you think are fitting and you wish to repurpose, please bring those. Together, we’ll create one-of-a-kind brooches by repurposing vintage floral embroideries and laces into wearable art. No sewing skills required. This program will take place as part of this weekend’s NORDIC TEXTILE TAKEOVER.
