Headlands Center for the Arts

In this workshop, participants are invited to make patchwork flags representing the state of the self: loud and proud, complicated, layered, messy or precise — whatever state you are in. Participants will fashion flags from personal clothing, found fabric, and various notions. Upon completion, the group will take as short hike atop the hill behind the Headlands and triumphantly let our freak flags fly.

Bring: old clothing (especially those favorite, decayed pieces you can’t manage to throw away), bedsheets, buttons, patches, scraps of fabric, anything that describes your freak fabric scissors (recommended), shoes you can hike in, warm clothing to wear during the workshop, clean socks (the gym is a shoe-free space).

Provided: sewing machines, glue guns, and a wide/wild assortment of materials.
