Embroidery Workshop & Studio Visit with Laurie Shapiro | 9/28

Embroidery Workshop & Studio Visit with Laurie Shapiro | 9/28

from $35.00

On the occasion of Bushwick Open Studios, join us to step into the immersive, handmade wonderland that is the studio workshop of of multi-media artist Laurie Shapiro for the unique opportunity to learn (or practice) a new skill while also being immersed in the art & soul of an up-and-coming contemporary artist!

On Sunday, September 28th, Laurie will lead you through a private embroidery workshop, teaching basic techniques and guiding you in creating a one-of-a-kind piece to take home. All materials will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own items (such as a jacket, shirt, or fabric) and any sketches or printouts to inspire their designs.

More than just a workshop, this is also a chance to experience the “kaleidoscopic and jewel-like…deeply embodied, and quietly psychedelic (in a meditative sense)” environments which Laurie creates through a combination of painting, screen-printing, sewing, and sculpture.

Before the class, we’ll start the afternoon with a convivial member brunch at Sea Wolf, a neighbourhood favorite known for its fresh seafood, hearty vegetarian fare, and laid-back vibe — the perfect setting to fuel up and connect with fellow culture lovers before the afternoon unfolds.

After the workshop, the experience continues with the option to explore the neighborhoods further — visiting other open studios and discovering Bushwick’s iconic street art, adding even more inspiration to an already creative day.
