I’ll be one of eight artists booths where participants will have the opportunity to work with and explore fabrics and fibers in hands on, creative ways. Three of my Denver comic artist friends, Kristina Maldonado Badhand, Dion Harris and Terra Necessary have designed paper dolls for my table that we’ll dress in vintage fabrics and scraps, in an exploration of representation in past and the current craft world. Within the comics industry there has been an conscious effort to promote artists of color, women and people who are LGBTQ. By including illustrators, colorists and writers from traditionally marginalized communities, comics are able to reach larger audiences while presenting work from authentic and talented voices.

Other participating artists:

// Collaborative Weaving with Holly Foerster Harrison of Textile Restyle
// Fabric Collage with We Made This
// Scrappy Stories with Betterish
// T-Shirt Tote Bags with the Denver Sewing Collective
// Wrapped Branches with Sonya Erickson aka Doctorigami
