At the end of the workshop\, you’ll leave wearing your hand-made creation! \nThis course is delivered as two evening classes\, so please make sure you can attend both evenings when booking: \nThursday 7 July\, 6pm-8:30pm \nThursday 14 July\, 6pm-8:30pm \nWhat will be covered: \n\nTaking your measurements\nReading and understanding a sewing pattern\nThreading and using a sewing machine\nStep by step construction\n\nWhat will be provided: \n\nA printed LB Pullover pattern (sizes 6 – 28) with step by step guide for use in the workshop and to take home\nUse of our PFAFF Domestic sewing machines\, overlocker and tools\nUnlimited supply of teas\, coffees and biscuits\n\nWhat you will need to bring: \n\nFabric of your choice. Please see fabric consumption chart below to work out how much fabric to bring (You can email sally@onca.org.uk for advice). Fabric should be pre-washed and ironed – this is because some fabric shrinks when washed for the first time. Choose a non-stretch fabric as this is easiest for new sewers.\nOne spool of matching thread\nAs this course is delivered over 2 evenings\, you may wish to bring some snacks/ dinner with you.\n\nOn the fabric consumption chart below\, the left column refers to the width that fabric often comes in (115cm/ 150cm). Once you’ve found the fabric you want to use\, look at the width on the roll of fabric and then you can refer to your size on the chart to work out how much to get. For example\, a size 16 buying fabric on a 150cm roll would need to get 1.25mtrs of fabric.  \n \nThis event is part of the Dresscue Project\, encouraging creative practices in making\, mending and up-cycling to extend the life of clothing. Join Dresscue every Friday between 10am and 1pm to use ONCA’s drop-in sewing space.

No previous experience is necessary and all tools and materials will be provided. If you would like to bring your own fabric\, you are welcome to do so. \nAbout the artist\nAnna Perach’s practice explores the dynamics between personal and cultural myths. She is interested in how our private narratives are deeply rooted in ancient folklore and storytelling\, and her work interweaves feminine archetypes into sculptural hybrids in order to examine ideas of identity\, gender\, and craft. \nAnna’s main medium of work is wearable sculpture and performance. Using a technique called tufting\, she makes carpet textiles\, which she transforms into wearable sculptures\, examining how elements associated with the domestic sphere such as textiles and carpet operate as an extension of the self and reflect one’s heritage and gender role. In performances the tufted\, domestic carpet serves as an external added layer of skin\, which hides the physical body but exposes fragments of the self. \nAnna Perach (1985\, USSR) is a Ukrainian born Israeli artist living and working in London\, UK. She holds an MFA in fine art (distinction) from Goldsmiths\, University of London (2020). She has exhibited internationally at galleries including: White Cube gallery\, London\, UK\, Live Works\, Centrale Feis\, Italy\, Saatchi Gallery. London\, UK and Larsen Warner gallery in Stockholm\, Sweden. In 2020 she was a finalist at the Birth Rites Collection Biennial Competition for New Works and The Ingram Prize. Anna also received a grant for the production of new work from Procreate Project via the Arts Council England. Recent publications include Floorr Magazine and Calvert Journal. \nWebsite | Instagram URL:https://onca.org.uk/event/creating-wearable-sculptural-masks-with-anna-perach/ LOCATION:England CATEGORIES:Dresscue,Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://onca.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/2ab336e74513b442448b7c15f9a7d7c6-e1628270054620.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20211014T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20211014T200000 DTSTAMP:20260818T203559 CREATED:20210924T213751Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210924T213751Z UID:37635-1634234400-1634241600@onca.org.uk SUMMARY:Clothes Swap on the Barge DESCRIPTION:ONCA’s clothes swap is back!
