Stitching Stories: What is Home? - Day 1: Writing & Textile Workshop
Explore, Create, and Share Your Story Through Poetry + Textile Art
Join us this fall for a free two-part workshop that brings together poetry, fabric, and performance in a heartfelt exploration of What is Home? Whether you’re a seasoned artist, budding writer, or just curious about trying something new, this program invites you to express your story through words, stitches, and voice.
Workshop Dates and Times
Day 1: Writing & Textile Workshop
Saturday, September 6, 11 am – 1 pm:
Craft a poem or haiku inspired by your idea of “home,” then bring it to life on fabric using techniques like embroidery, stamping, or textile writing. No experience necessary – just bring your story and your creativity!
Day 2: Exhibit & Showcase
Saturday, October 3, 5 pm – 8 pm:
Celebrate your work! Your finished piece will be displayed in VMOTA’s hallway gallery, alongside a video performance of your poem. Visitors can scan a QR code to watch your story unfold in your own voice.
You’ll have about one month between sessions to complete your textile piece and record your video – we’ll guide you along the way.
This project was made possible through the Arts District Liberty Station Collaborative Funding Program.
