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 cartographic quilt square that maps key relationships, people, and places from their lives. Students will then translate their cartographic quilts into a woven tapestry, reflecting on the paths they’ve traveled and the connections they’ve formed along the way. This unique process invites self-reflection and placemaking while teaching basic weaving principles and techniques.

The workshop series will take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 14-16th at The HUUB. Taught by fiber artist Donelle Wedderburn.
