Quilt workshop
PORT HADLOCK — Sujani quilts are like silken narratives: stories told in fabric.
And this ancient art form, alive and well in modern India, will be the subject of a free Family Art program at the Jefferson County Library, 620 Cedar Ave., this Saturday.
Using the work of Indian quilt artist Sanju Devi for inspiration, workshop participants will create sujani quilts from recycled fabrics to tell their own stories in cloth.
Artist Sidonie Wilson will teach the program from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. as part of the library’s Family Art series, designed for adults and children to explore a variety of art media together.
The workshop starts with a demonstration and art conversation and then goes into creative work time.
Space is limited, so participants are asked to sign up, either by stopping by the library or phoning 360-385-6544.
