Come together as a community and learn to crochet with large wooden hooks and/or your fingers, using repurposed fabric. Ramekon will teach you how to Crochet Jam! Saturday, August 26, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m, and Sunday, August 27, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m
Ramekon O’Arwisters started Crochet Jam in 2012. His social-art practice is rooted in a cherished childhood memory that’s steeped in the African-American tradition of weaving in a calm and non-judgmental environment without rules or limitations. Crochet Jam invites the public to think differently about the role of art in community and the power of art in society. Crochet Jam–a public, art-making event that’s embracing and inclusive, with no attempt made to dictate the creative process nor judge the finished project–is meditative, liberating, and empowering.
