October 7 General Meeting

Special Guest! Benjamin Sorrell!

Artist Website

Benjamin Sorrell is a multi-disciplinary artist from Corpus Christi. He is a printmaker and fiber artist interested in relief printmaking, textile printing, and visible garment mending.

In 2017, Benjamin's family's history of craft inspired him to become a garment mender, leading to a love of textile art, patching, darning, and Japanese sashiko stitching. He uses these tools as inspiration and a basis for his art. He advocates minimizing textile waste by moving towards garment maintenance, recycling, and repair.

Each meeting includes:

• Guild business - Updates on what's going on, what's coming up, and how members can get involved!
• Programming - Unique to each month, our VP of Programming has something fun planned from sew-ins to sew-lebrities and other cool content! 
• Sew & Tell - Members share what they're working on and any recent finishes.
