Workforce Opportunity Services (WOS), a leading non-profit organization
connecting individuals from underserved populations with transformative career
opportunities, is hosting a free online Textile Art: Explore the evolution and
transformation of textile art series. Each session is designed for individuals
of ALL AGES and is aimed at expanding their horizon in the arts.

Sessions will be presented by Michelle Bishop and Laura R. Gadson.

PAINTED THREADS: Explore the history and evolution of textile art through the
lens of the African Diaspora. Michelle Bishop will take you on a journey
exploring artists and crafts persons who have made a significant impact on the
art world through disciplines such as quilting, felting and crocheting. Once
defined as "women's work", Michelle dispels that myth and includes historical
references and imagery to unpack engagement in needle arts.

QUILTING: Through dialog and demonstration, we will explore fabric piecing,
patchwork and quilting styles reflective of American Peoples of Color and the
influence of that work on their social and economic empowerment. The
demonstration will include: How to make a strip quilt using the Gee's Bend
Model.
