Community Art-making workshop for “Swoop”
May 21 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Agnes Niewiadomski and Michelle Purchase join us at Square Peg as part of their community weaving workshops to bring “Swoop” to the MCCC!
As new public art for the Mill-Courtland Community Centre “Swoop” by Agnes Niewiadomski and Michelle Purchase will use basket-weaving techniques to craft a flight of hand-woven willow swallows that will hang from the ceiling and be affixed to an indoor wall of the lobby. The material for the swallows will be locally sourced from wild or farmed willow, with dyes handmade from local walnut and acorn pigments. Both swallows and willows have immense cultural symbolism, embodying themes like stability, protection, good fortune, protection from harm, and the ability to triumph over adversity.
Registration required – 12 participant spaces ages 12+. Book your spots now!
