Tuesday 18 March, live demo by Harriett Riddell, 7.30pm, Centre 70
Harriet Riddell travels the world with her sewing machine, pitching up in challenging locations from the slums of Nairobi to the tea fields of the Himalayas. Through free motion embroidery she captures her surrounding environment and the people she meets. At our demo, Harriett will be sewing a portrait.
Adventure, interaction and communication are key elements to each piece of Harriet’s work. Behind every ‘stitch’ lies a narrative of the people, place and culture.
At times, Harriet encourages her street audience to pedal a bicycle which generates electricity and powers the art. This increases the interaction between her, her subject and the art itself.
Harriett’s website is at: https://institchyou.com/
Free to members. Non-members welcome (£5 payable on the night).
