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: Flea Friends

With inspiration from Maria Fernanda Cardoso’s sculptural performance piece, Cardoso Flea Circus, create your own acrobatic stage with tiny fabric fleas. Use beautiful scraps of silk, beads, buttons, and metallic threads to set a whimsical scene.
