Join DAI exhibiting fiber artist Lauren Faherty to explore the rich history of banner-making, and its role in social and cultural history. From heraldic and medieval flags to protest and activism, banner-making is an ancient craft medium. Faherty will guide you through creating your own banner filled with personal symbolism or text. Using hand stitching techniques like appliqué and embroidery, you'll sew a banner that speaks to your unique point of view. While basic hand sewing skills can be helpful, they are not necessary to participate. Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
