Sewing Sessions for Grievers
Description
Please join Julie Hammond for a collaborative sewing circle for people who have lost loved ones. Attendees will be invited to sew the name their loved one on a single, large piece of fabric. We will sit, sew, and share stories together. No sewing experience required. All materials will be provided.
In the time since losing my father, one of the things I've missed most is the chance to say his name and share stories about the wonderful and weird person he was. Likewise, I love hearing others tell me the small-big things that were part of those they have loved and lost. For me, the names of these people and their stories are part of the present absence of the dead. They are here, and not.
Please note: The sewing will involve white thread on white fabric. Bring your reading glasses if you need them!
This event is part of May Day, Mayday, Mayday and the exhibition ZACHOR | זכור | REMEMBER by the 2025-26 Art/Lab Fellows.
