Colossal is beyond thrilled to welcome South African artist Danielle Clough to Chicago for a pair of in-person workshops on embroidered color theory. On September 8 and 9, Clough will teach her unique thread-blending techniques, how to create dimension, and the basics of stitching vibrant, fiber-based renderings.

Students receive a kit of materials designed specifically for Colossal, and all skill levels are welcome. She will teach different projects and skills in both workshops, so we urge you to join both sessions.

September 8: Vibrant Thread Blending Workshop

September 9: Sew Far Sew Good

These workshops are held in partnership with 21c Museum Hotel, a multi-venue contemporary art museum with locations around the Midwest. They are also supported by DMC, a leading global needlecraft company based in Mulhouse, France.

If you’re in Philadelphia, our friends at Paradigm Gallery + Studio are also hosting the artist for a three-day class on abstract embroideries.
