Join me on this journey! Be moved. Be inspired. Be encouraged. Let the stories of these brave arpilleristas stimulate creativity and resourcefulness in your own sewing projects.

Description

I’ve traveled to Chile, and I’ve seen for myself these powerful “Cloths of Resistance.” I’ve researched everything I can get my hands on about arpilleras: their tragic beginnings and the tenacious spirit of the women who crafted them. I’ll share it all with you in this fascinating presentation.

  • A 75-minute presentation with Q&A to follow.
  • Photos of past and present arpilleras shown and discussed.
  • Upon purchase, you will receive a Zoom link to your inbox for the event.

I pack a lot into this impressive tale of girl power during horrific circumstances. You will be “wowed” over and over again at the personal stories I bring to life, the many arpilleras I show you and the themes they depict, and how the arpilleristas persevered with minimal time, money and very limited resources.
