Handmade-Banner Workshop

  • The Word Barn 66 Newfields Road Exeter, NH, 03833 USA (map)

COVID PROTOCOL & FAQs

In this workshop we’re making a personal banner - something you create as a mantra for daily peace, or to state a motto, perhaps a single word with symbols representing something you stand for… 

Banners have a long history in homes (like a family crest) and in public marches (always the first thing you see in a crowd!) - in this workshop, Molly will walk you through ideas, fonts, fabric and felt to create your unique banner.  It’s great fun doing this in a group as you see and think things you might not otherwise on your own.  

This is an all hand-stitched banner/ 9”x12" : no sewing experience needed.  

All materials provided- But always feel free to bring anything, fabric or objects to use in your unique banner, as well.

No previous experience necessary. All materials provided
(tho I highly suggest bringing an apron and your glasses!) 

Space is very limited!

 

ABOUT MOLLY C. MENG

Molly C. Meng studied literature with a personal minor in collecting other people's lives.  An obsession with old ledgers, vintage photos. and every single discarded book that exists, her work reimagines the untold stories behind the otherwise forgotten items of every day. 

A self-taught artist, the medium of collage in both paper and textiles is Molly's dominant form of communicating.  She successfully weaves the elements of ephemera and storytelling into each piece she creates. 

The spectacular beauty of the ordinary is elevated with detail in her work.  Molly's work has shown nationally in both museums and galleries located in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Wisconsin and Montana.  She has produced large scale commissions for interior designers, personal homes and a number of Prometheus apartment complexes in Northern California. 

Other than creating her own artwork, Molly helps adults and young people lean into their unique talent by teaching creative workshops around the U.S. as well as on an annual retreat in the South of France.  Molly C. Meng is currently living and working in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
