Mending Grounding Session

Termite TV Collective

Termites come together to begin exploring how the theme of mending can be embodied into their projects this year.

Cherry Street Pier

Join artist Julie Woodard for a grounding session that seeks to inspire and support Termites as they begin exploring how the theme of mending can be embodied into their projects this year. Julie will share her personal experience with mending as the ecological base of her art practice, as well as how the theme connects to caring for our bodies, psyches, and communities. The session will include space for reflection and sharing, skill building with a needle and thread (and the co-creation of a hand-stitched banner), and an introduction to local resources that may serve as guideposts this year. Optional: Termites are invited to bring an item of clothing that is in need or repair, as well as any fabric scraps that they might wish you experiment with. About the ArtistUsing salvaged textiles, found objects, pigments and thread, artist Julie Woodard creates impressionistic landscapes, multimedia installations, functional sculptures, and wearable pieces that convey her passion for nature, memory, and creative reuse. Current incarnations pay tribute to her late mom and repurpose family heirlooms, as well as feature vintage goods, cutting room remnants, broken furniture, and street debris.Julie’s artistic practice incorporates elements of animation, applique, ceramics, collage, embroidery, quilting, painting, printmaking, songwriting, and sculpture. Every piece has a story. Every material is repurposed with purpose.
