Ujima Theater and Stitch Buffalo team up to bring you a very special Saturday workshop based on their upcoming production of The Color Purple.
Members of the WNY community are invited to join in a collaborative textile arts project in honor of this project and Women’s History Month. No sewing experience is required to participate. Working with Stitch Buffalo staff and volunteers, participants will create a textile-based collage related to the story of The Color Purple. Techniques used will be appliqué, stenciling, and word embroidery.
