Join us Sunday, March 1 from 1-4PM as we welcome spring and new beginnings with our protest banner workshop! Whether you intend to march with your banner or hang it on a wall to be a reminder of where you stand, we welcome you as we explore how the personal is political. Over the span of three hours, we’ll explore our history as banner makers, set intentions as a group, think through our thoughts with journaling and sketching, and make with and in community. Opportunities for further connections outside of this workshop will be encouraged!
Basic sewing skills are helpful but not required. 10% of all ticket sales will be donated to Poder Idaho.
This workshop will be hosted by our friends at BOLT Handmakers Society(556 S Vista Ave, Boise, ID 83705)
YOU WILL BE PROVIDED:
PLEASE BRING:
A journal / sketchbook
Water bottle
OPTIONAL:
BOLT has materials we can use for our banner making but if you have fabric, trims, or specifics in mind, you may wish to bring you own. The below materials are optional.
A collection of fabric that you can use as a backing for your banner. You’re welcome to bring yardage that you specifically purchase for this workshop or you can reuse textiles such as quilts or blankets (make sure they’re not knit/stretchy!).
Trims
BOLT has 5 sewing machines we are able to use but we will need many more if we’re to all work together simultaneously. If you have a sewing machine you can transport, please bring it.
Matching thread
Fabric scissors (or just sharp, good quality scissors if you don’t have ones designated for fabric). BOLT has scissors we can use but not quite enough to go around. If you have a good pair of fabric scissors you like to use, please bring them but label them with your name beforehand.
