Join in as Stitch Buffalo leads a felt pin-making workshop. Pins will proudly read “Use Your Voice #Stop Asian Hate” in a variety of languages, mirroring the work of WNY Book Arts Gallery’s current exhibiting artist Mizin Shin.

In this workshop, participants will choose a language for their pin and stitch felt pieces together to create a wearable piece of art. Each participant has the opportunity to add embellishments with expert guidance from the Stitch Buffalo artists. Pre-registration is encouraged, but drop-ins are welcome. Pins take approximately 15–30 minutes to create, with the opportunity to work longer if you want to get more involved in the stitching!

Price: $15 (or $10 for WNYBAC members). Proceeds of the workshop will support the Stitch Buffalo artists leading the workshop as well as organizations supporting AAPI communities.
