ART SOCIAL: CREWELWORK – SOLD OUT

Led by Erica-Lynn Huberty

Have you always admired gorgeously-coloured embroidery? Are you eager to channel your inner Renaissance Queen? Then Crewelwork is for you… Crewelwork (or Crewel Embroidery) is often associated with England during the 16th to 18th centuries, and from England it was brought to the American colonies. It was particularly popular in New England, including our own Eastern Long Island! Crewelwork was primarily considered “women’s work” and thus was also used to convey subversive and feminist messages through symbolism.

Fiber artist Erica-Lynn Huberty will lead this 2-hour workshop where you will immerse yourself in vibrant colours, rich textures, and intricate designs. Crewel embroidery uses wool to create “surface” stitches, which are more textural than regular embroidery. A wide variety of stitches are used to follow a design outline applied to the fabric. There is no counting or math involved, Crewelwork is a style of free embroidery, similar to drawing. The workshop will teach participants stitches such as: stem stitch, chain stitch, satin, couched, seed and split stitches, and French knots. Participants will be given a choice of traditional designs drawn onto squares of woven linen and stitched using needles, wool thread, and an embroidery hoop.

This session will coincide with the release of Erica-Lynn Huberty’s new novel, The Crewel Wing. Books will be available for purchase on site.

The Art Social admission fee includes a complimentary glass of wine, beer, or a non-alcoholic beverage, and lite bites generously donated by Harbor Market & Kitchen in Sag Harbor.

PASSAGE: A FORGOTTEN PARADISE PROJECT

Join us for a community gathering honoring the Pyrrhus Concer Homestead, its memory, its ancestors, and its resilience.  Concer is one of the most important figures in Southampton’s history; come build a monument, hoist a sail, sing, break bread, and fellowship with us. We’ll call in our indigenous, black and brown ancestors who transcend time and space, who charge us to imagine a liberated, more just, more caring world, a world in which life is precious.

PASSAGE is the third chapter in an ongoing, creative investigation called FORGOTTEN PARADISE which imagines the dreams of the forcibly displaced, and enslaved peoples across the European/American, trans-Atlantic slave trade.  It connects spirits of ancestors with descendants across oceans and between times.

**Please bring a lawn chair and wear all white. The program will be filmed for future iterations of the project. Please note that guests of Guild Hall may be photographed, videotaped, or otherwise recorded.

Eric Fischl, mainly known for his large-scale, naturalistic images of middle-class American life, has created this interactive work where the public is invited into the studio during gallery hours to create their own “paintings” with provided precut magnetic figures—or make new figures—to develop compositions that play with changing perspective, narrative, and the history of painting.

Galleries are open Wednesday to Sunday, 12-5 PM. Enter the Boots Lamb Education Center from Pondview Lane.
