This workshop is part of the Beyond: Tapestry Expanded exhibition, on view at the Peeler Art Center from August 26 to December 8, 2024. The exhibition showcases innovative tapestry works that blend traditional and digital techniques, non-traditional materials, and multimedia elements.All skill levels can join this unique opportunity to learn from a leading artist in the field.*This event counts towards punch card credit for students enrolled in an art history, art studio, or design course.
