Join Artist-in-Residence Max Colby and learn the basics of appliqué, from iron-on patches to sewing. Materials will be provided, though participants are encouraged to bring their own clothing, patches, or fabric to work with.
About Max
Max Colby creates maximal works of textiles, embroidery, and painting that examine social themes through a queer lens. Their series of intricate embroideries and textile assemblages subvert craft forms and techniques traditionally tied to domestic, religious, and ceremonial settings. At MAD, Colby will further develop a new series that considers trans and non-binary identity and is inspired by funeral wreaths and ceremonial altarpieces.
