Workshop | PLAY & STITCH | Adriana Torres
Nørre Alle 45, 8000 Århus C
PLAY & STITCH
Unlock your creativity as you embroider your unique take on Adriana Torres iconic sweater-chair.
If you love embroidery but don't know what to design or feel blocked when it's time to embroider, this workshop is for you!
Whether you're an expert stitcher or have never held a needle in your life, this class could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Through a fun game, Adriana will guide you to create your own sweater-chair, reframing any insecurity as energy that guides your creativity and imagination.
In this 5-hour workshop, you will learn a bunch of embroidery stitches, including brand new ones like the Argentinian Knots and Picot, which Adriana, who is coming all the way from Argentina, will share for the first time on this tour through Europe, America, and Asia.
The workshop includes fabric, threads, needles, and a handmade booklet with all the stitches.
During this very special session, you will have the first-of-its-kind opportunity to embroider your own version of Adriana's renowned sweater-chair while joyfully immersing yourself in the creative process.
Adriana started embroidering chairs with sweaters in 2008, when she made the first drawing combining two everyday objects she liked most. Her fascination for designer chairs reaches back to when she was an architecture student, discovering the Bauhaus and the designs of Marcel Breuer and Gerrit Rietveld. She thinks deeply about the phrase by Gaston Bachelard that says "without the unexpected crossing of two images there is no imagination." For him, imagination is a process of the soul and can only be explained through the images themselves. Besides chairs and hand knitted sweaters, Adriana has always loved the different ~ the unique. The repetition of her sweater chairs shows her passion for the subject, just like the Dutch painter Klaas Gubbels repeatedly painting coffee pots and the Icelandic painter Storval painting mountains. Adriana is sure she will paint and stitch chairs with sweaters for the rest of her life.
----
Both in The Forest Alphabet and Play & Stitch, students will acquire proficiency in identical embroidery techniques, including Colcha stitch, Towel stitch, Quaker stitch, Argentinian knot and square knot, and Argentinian Picot, among others. Despite this, the thematic content and the pedagogical approach to these techniques diverge entirely.
These classes were conceived as a two-day creative retreat and are intended to be complementary. It is, however, possible to enroll in either one individually.
All the materials are included, but you are invited to bring your favorite threads, needles and scissors.
