Taking inspiration from the Red Dress, project founder and textile artist Kirstie Macleod will lead the group in looking at the garment’s varied styles of embroidery as well as its themes of identity and culture. Participants will be encouraged to explore their own voice and expression by creating a meaningful and unique design for the collaborative Calico Dress, initiated by SVAC to bring together community in Vermont.

Some embroidery experience is preferred.

*Basic supplies are included with the price of registration. Participants are welcome to bring additional materials.
