GHTAC X LVIS: REPURPOSED FASHION SHOW

Presented by the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council & the East Hampton Ladies’ Village Improvement Society

Sustainability meets style in this bold celebration of creativity and conscious design. GHTAC X LVIS: Teen Fashion Show showcases original ensembles crafted entirely from repurposed and upcycled materials, transforming second-hand clothing and fashion waste into visionary, wearable art.

A true community collaboration, this fashion show is the result of months of creative work between the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council and the dedicated volunteers of the Ladies’ Village Improvement Society (LVIS). Together, they sourced clothing from the LVIS thrift shop, carefully selecting garments with the potential for reinvention. Guided by a shared theme, the teens took on the role of designers—de-seaming, reconstructing, and reimagining fabrics to create entirely new looks that challenge the boundaries of fashion.

A reception will follow to celebrate the culmination of the 2024-2025 Guild Hall Teen Arts Council!

ART SOCIAL: CREWELWORK – SOLD OUT

Led by Erica-Lynn Huberty

SOLD OUT – Email akirwin@guildhall.org to be added to the waiting list.

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.
