FWM has a unique collection of Artist Boxes containing process materials for past Artists-in-Residence. These special boxes hold materials and conceptual explorations that document the many aspects of experimentation and project development. Now we turn the spotlight on you to create your own “Self-Portrait Box.” How can the color wheel, cloth and hand-made objects communicate aspects of your inner self? Explore color swatch printing on fabric to find the perfect color palette that defines you, stitch handmade objects and place them in a “Self-Portrait Box.” Bring other small personal objects to place in your box. Light refreshments will be served. All materials provided.
