SUMMARY:Drink & Draw [VIRTUAL]: Revived Relics
DESCRIPTION:Guest Artist: Millicent Kennedy\nMillicent Kennedy uses mark making\, embroidery\, and sewing as a way to remember and to honor people\, memories\, and items. We invite you to join us for a creative project in which we will uplift a broken item\, a piece of litter\, or another small memento you’d like to remember. Any object that is treasured\, aesthetically pleasing\, or otherwise interesting to you is perfect. Feel free to bring detritus from your neighborhood\, a family heirloom\, or a keepsake from a nature walk.  \nAlongside our featured artist\, participants will take time to look closely at their chosen object\, and to create a composition that highlights its shape and form.  Millicent will share how she creates hand quilted wall hangings with small objects using fabric and thread. Attendees are welcome to follow along with a thread and needle\, or create a hand-drawn version using a silhouette of their cherished item. \nFor those who would like to sew their item into an artwork\, please select a small object (under 6” x 6”) and two pieces of fabric. Sheer fabrics can be especially interesting by allowing the embedded object to show through.  \nSuggested Materials:\n\nSmall objects; can be broken\, found\, or organic\n\nIf drawing: \n\nPaper \nPencils\, pens\, colored pencils or markers \n\nIf sewing: \n\nTwo pieces of Fabric: cotton\, linen\, or a sheer fabric\nEmbroidery floss or thread\nEmbroidery needle\nScissors\nSafety pins\n\nOptional Materials: \n\nNeedle threader\nEmbroidery hoop \nThimble  \n\nZoom Meeting ID: 83416147723\nArtist Bio:\nMillicent Kennedy‘s art practice collaborates with storied materials and time through performance\, fiber\, and book arts.
