California African American Museum

While patchwork quilting is often seen as a craft, artists such as Adia Millett, Faith Ringgold, and others continue to bring the practice into the realm of fine art. View Adia Millett’s work in Breaking Patterns for inspiration, then join the artist and design a paper patchwork on your own or as part of a family project. It can be hung with pride or used as inspiration for an actual patchwork quilt! Ages 5 and up. Space is limited; RSVP required.
