Kingston | Updated: March 28, 2024 07:47 PM
Weaving with Waste with Sariah Park

Location: 49 Greenkill Ave

Address: 49 Greenkill Avenue, Kingston, NY 12401

Date: 21 Apr

Workshop:

In the Weaving with Waste workshop, participants will learn how to use textile waste materials in new ways, while focusing on learning basic weaving properties and construction.

The workshop will create a stimulating environment as we learn how to weave, while finding out more about reducing textile waste and the implications of the overconsumption of clothing and textiles on intricate ecosystems. Participants will leave the workshop with one or two woven textile samples.

Teaching Artist:

As a mixed-race interdisciplinary artist of Indigenous and European heritage, Sariah Park's work challenges the status quo of making and asks important questions regarding consumerism, post colonialism and societal waste. With over nineteen years of experience in fiber, print, and fashion design, she has a unique perspective as an artist, entrepreneur, and educator. Her work has been featured in Hyperallergic, the Wall Street Journal, Women’s Wear Daily, Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar. She received a Pollock-Krasner Fellowship in 2019, as well as artist grants from Creative Capital, Foundation for the Arts, and the CERF+. She is an enrolled citizen of the Chiricahua Apache Nation and her current research is focused on Indigenous Studies, de-centering whiteness within fashion and the development of sustainable and Land-based practices for textile, fine art and fashion production. Her most recent body of work features the up-cycling and repurposing of dead stock and damaged printed textiles into new forms, and printing with waste to create large-scale works on paper.
