In this free online workshop brought to you by MCD, San Francisco-based fabric artist Ramekon O’Arwisters will lead participants in a Finger Crochet Jam where they will create a wearable or sculptural piece of their own design using reused and repurposed fabric strips. No need to buy anything new!

Additional info:

Ramekon O’Arwisters began Crochet Jam as a community art project that enabled people to collectively work on a piece of art with a focus on relaxation and human connection. Crochet Jam is an activity that engenders compassion and warmth, where participants can be in a creative mindset without anyone dictating the creative process nor worrying about the finished product, and a way to make liberation a form of art.

O’Arwisters was a finalist for the 2019 SECA Art Award and is represented by the Patricia Sweetow Gallery. Selected other grants and awards include Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue, NY, the San Francisco Foundation and the San Francisco Arts Commission Cultural Equity Program, as well as the 2014 Eureka Fellowship, awarded by the Fleishhacker Foundation in San Francisco.
