Bring a sack lunch or purchase a treat from the Shawarma Ur’s food truck and join the Ulrich Museum of Art for an artist talk with members of Sip & Stitch, a group of fiber artist friends who enjoy getting together for wine and creative time, from 12:15 to 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3.
Known for their recent “yarn bombing” of the Tom Otterness bronze sculpture “Millipede” (Millie), as well as a campus-wide yarn bombing in 2014, this group of 16 artists worked for eight months using approximately 25,000 to 30,000 yards of yarn to create 24 sections of handwork — knitting, crochet, cross-stitch and crewel embroidery — which they installed on Aug. 27.
Visit Millie in the garden south of the Ulrich Museum to hear about the artists’ process at this free event.
