Feminist Icon Cross Stitch Workshop

Thursday January 31, 2019 06:00 PM EST
Cost: $30 - $50

From the venue:

Learn a new way to celebrate feminist icons!

Because these incredible people deserve to be celebrated and channeled as we contend with our current sociopolitical climate, we’re having a special edition of MODA’s subversive cross-stitch workshop where we’ll be stitching feminist icons.

Cross-stitch is a type of embroidery in which the needlework creates images that look pixelated. Traditionally a way for society to measure a woman’s marriageability, cross-stitch has recently become a vehicle for craftivism (craft activism) and used to assert diverse identities and demand social change. Grab a needle and thread and fabric and join us in this special cross stitch class!

You’ll learn about how cross-stitch got to be subversive, cross-stitching basics, design creation, and how to bring that design into reality. Bring your passion and we’ll provide the hoops, needles, embroidery floss, and patterns of feminist icons.
