Participants will make a yarn painting with colorful fibers and glue, using the silk and beadwork of the 19th-century artwork Man's Tobacco Pouch as their inspiration.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
A Wednesday workshop at LACMA takes its cue from Man's Tobacco Pouch, a 19th-century artwork described for its intricate silk and beadwork. In Communities Create LA! Painting with Yarn, participants are invited to turn that reference into a yarn painting of their own.
The connection is in the materials: silk and beadwork are the features LACMA highlights in Man's Tobacco Pouch, while the workshop uses colorful fibers and glue. The project is to make a yarn painting inspired by the artwork, rather than a promised copy or prescribed design.
