February 1, 8, and 15 from 1pm-3:30pm

Life Tapestries is an interactive workshop series that combines personal storytelling and hands-on crafting. Participants will explore their familial ties to New Jersey through two intertwined mediums; quilting and weaving. This three-part workshop is for artists of all ages interested in drawing connections between cartography, creative writing, and fiber arts. Students will create a personal cartographic map of key moments, relationships, and places. Then, translating that map into a woven tapestry, participants will reflect on the paths they’ve traveled and the connections they’ve formed along the way. This unique process invites self-reflection and community building while teaching basic weaving principles and techniques.

The class will meet on three consecutive Saturdays: February 8, 15 & 22 from 1pm-3:30pm. Taught by fiber artist Donelle Wedderburn.
