Textile Workshop with Caroline Perkison and Magdalena Jarkowiec

An afternoon of making and material attention. This textile workshop invites visitors to gather around cloth, thread, and simple tools to weave, mend, embroider, and appliqué new and beloved pieces for their collections. In the spirit of the exhibition, the workshop honors slow accumulation and care—how objects carry memory through touch, repair, and quiet transformation.

Artists Caroline Perkison and Magdalena Jarkkowiec will offer brief demonstrations in weaving and embroidery/appliqué to help participants get started, followed by open working time. Visitors are welcome to bring garments, scraps, or textiles from home to mend or rework, or to begin something new using materials provided on site. The workshop creates a shared space for working with textiles while engaging the exhibition’s themes of material attention and lived-in objects.

Suggested materials to bring:

  • Thread/yarn (for embroidery, sewing, and weaving)

  • Fabric (can be something that needs to be mended or create a new piece)

  • Embroidery hoops

  • Needles

  • Pins

  • Cardboard (looms)

  • Scissors
