Patchwork Pronoun Earrings with artist Laura Olive

September 28 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Celebrate Culture Days with the Alberta Craft Council and Laura Olive

In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of hand sewing and embroidery by making mixed-media earrings made primarily of felt fabric. Providing an inclusive, trans-friendly space to get creative, chat, and have fun! Participants will be given the freedom to experiment with the materials available to create a project they’re excited about. At the end, they will leave with 1 pair of custom earrings that include their pronouns.

These free workshops are designed for ages 13 and up and will last up to 120 minutes.

About the instructor: Laura Olive is an interdisciplinary emerging artist based in Calgary, Alberta working on their final year at AUArts in the Media Arts Program.
