Workshop Title: Mixed-Media Collage & Weaving Workshop

Use a variety of materials including paper, cloth, and recycled items to weave together a unique composition that you can frame or stitch onto the cover of a small notebook. Participants will learn the basics of weaving, experiment with materials to create richly patterned surfaces, and how to use a sewing machine. Experimentation with processes and materials will be encouraged. No prior experience is necessary. 

Maggie Leininger (She/Her) is an artist and educator utilizing visual art as an engagement tool to activate and strengthen communities. Leininger's studio practice explores the intersectionality of social patterns and coded languages primarily through the use of threads that are woven, stitched, collaged, or assimilated. Having grown up in a Southern mill town during the decline of the textile industry, Leininger's work explores the relationship between anonymous labor, the extraction of resources, and systems of production within an industrialized framework. Another recurring theme in Leininger's work considers identity and social expectations related to garment construction and the history of handwork such as sewing, embroidery, knitting, and weaving. In tandem with her studio practice, Leininger also founded and runs 10 Fold Projects, an artist studio and gallery space in Greencastle, IN that offers artist residencies, workshops, curated exhibitions, and other art-related programs.
