SUMMARY:Domestic Duster Stitching
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to have the opportunity to take part in artist Vanessa Marr’s Domestic Duster project\, joining our voices to those of hundreds of other women. Our dusters will form part of this important collection. \nThis collaborative arts and practice-based research project explores contemporary perspectives on the everyday lives of women. Participants are invited to embroider their domestic thoughts\, feelings\, complaints\, and celebrations as words or images onto a yellow duster. Each duster is unique and hand-stitched\, transforming it from a cleaning cloth into a voice for women today. This act of craftivism (craft and activism) invites conversations and challenges the legacy of so-called women’s work. \nFREE (no need to book)

SUMMARY:Reimagined Materials: Family Art Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Get creative at our free family workshop with artist-in-residence Grace Gatley at the Wilson!  \nTaking inspiration from the Material Worlds exhibition and Alexandre da Cunha’s amazing installation made from everyday things\, we’ll be turning ordinary materials into something extraordinary. Families can make their own colourful wall hangings or help build one big\, fun\, temporary installation together. \nCome along\, play with materials\, and see what your imagination can create! \nAbout Grace\nGrace Gatley is a mixed-media embroidery artist with a degree in Textile Design from Falmouth University. She fuses traditional techniques with contemporary design\, inspired by historical buildings\, churches and cathedrals. Ornately carved masonry and Victorian stained glass lend pattern and palette to her practice\, and she often works with botanical dyes and real flowers; preserving and reflecting fragile natural beauty in print and stitch as in carved stone.
