This workshop was designed for 2SLGBTQI+ community members and is generously sponsored by Community One Foundation.
In this hands-on workshop, participants are invited to play and create tactile sensory collages that utilize The Textile Musuem’s treasure trove of materials. Participants will create art that plays with our sensory feelings of touch, adding another layer to our visual art creation and allowing us to consider what a piece of art can physically feel like. Lead by artist Cleopatria Peterson as a part of the Crip Collective cohort, this low barrier workshop will encourage participants to have fun as they explore different combinations of materials and create collages that push the boundaries of being flat and paper and celebrate art that can also be used for stimming.
By the end of the workshop, participants will:
Explore how art can be tactile
Understand art creation through a disability lens
Create and complete their own tactile collage that utilizes different materials
Experience art creation as a play
Build community by creating art in a collaborative space
This is a beginner-friendly workshop with no previous experience required. All materials and step-by step guidance will be provided.
