Quilting Bee with Wataru Tominaga
10899 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024
Thursday, June 20 at 1:00 PM 4:00 PM
Ends Jun 20, 2024
Fashion designer and artist Wataru Tominaga will transform the gallery space into a sewing room. Over the course of five days, a collective of local artists will join Tominaga in crafting a large patchwork quilt, which will be exhibited as an artwork upon completion. Participating artists will learn intricate hand stitching techniques from Liz Leral, the executive director of Quilting for Community, a non-profit organization dedicated to offering a free, inclusive, creative space to learn the art of quilting. This collaborative project challenges traditional gender roles in craft and artistry, encouraging visitors to reflect on the intersections of fashion, craftsmanship, and fine art. Participating artists in the Quilting Bee include Mathias Adam, Jonathan Edwards, Tristan Lahoz, Mariam Mujahidah, Toban Nichols, Corey Pemberton, Julian Rich, and Keigo Sato.
