Community Tissue Quilt Workshop - Maya Freelon at Stagville

-

Registration is now open! Reserve your space by emailing stagville@dncr.nc.gov with your name and number of participants. This free workshop is open for all ages. Your reservation is not confirmed until you receive a confirmation email.

On Saturday, December 14 from 10 am to 12 pm, visitors are invited to participate in a tissue quilt workshop at Historic Stagville. Open to all ages, artist Maya Freelon will lead participants on a transformational, collective art-making journey. 

Discover some of the tissue paper techniques Freelon uses in Maya Freelon: Whippersnappers, her site-responsive exhibition now on view at Historic Stagville.  By creating a tissue quilt together, piece by piece, joining with others, it can grow quickly. The end result is a monumental example of transforming “nothing” into something right before our eyes. 

Advanced registration is required.
