During this day-long workshop, participants will explore ‘sash(i)ko,’ a rural hand stitching technique from Northern Japan. Working with traditional patterns and natural fabrics from Bird’s collection, participants will work on a stitch sampler alongside a centerpiece or wall hanging. All materials will be included. Participants must be over the age of 16.
Artist talk
June 15th, 7-8pm
Esker Foundation
In this talk, Bird will discuss 1597; Harmonious Frequencies, an ongoing performance-based installation in the Esker Project Space. Bird is interested in performing slow building techniques with simple to no tools over a long duration of time. Her work explores the physical and mental effects of carrying out a repetitive process, the perception of time, and artisanship.
Local Drop Magazine has written a lovely review of the shows at the Esker! Thank you, Christina Wong.
Opening reception for Vanessa Brown, Anna Torma and myself is Friday May 25th, 6-10pm. Hope to see you there!
