Kick off your weekend with FWM. Join us on the first Friday of each month for a new workshop inspired by our current exhibition, Soft Cover. Unwind, connect, and create something new! 

This week: Cover/Uncover

Create your own printed patch to sew onto a garment to cover a stain or mend a tear. Glean inspiration from the works of past Artists-in-Residence Jody Pinto, Lenore Tawney, and Vito Acconci, whose projects cover and uncover the body with vines, clouds, and plumes of hair.
