SEWN
STORIES a collaborative textile project designed and facilitated
by Peg Gignoux engaged Meredith College art students during the
Fall of 2003. This 11 week class, required creative teamwork and
commitment from the participants of the studio classroom. The central
focus of the project was to create texture from text. By hand. The
narrative content of SEWN STORIES is inspired by the cultural and
aesthetic strength of indigeneous craftswomen working in textiles
around the world.
