Quilting Workshop with Mik and May Gaspay

Join mother and son duo Mik and May Gaspay for a hands-on quilting workshop. Inspired by the social and communal space of quilting bees, May and Mik along with co-conspirator Malleva Abenes lead an afternoon centered on all things quilt making.

The workshop starts in the SFAC Main Gallery where Mik, May, and Malleva have work on view in the exhibition Fiber Structure followed by a showing of quilts by May and Malleva. Once situated at work stations, participants will be taught the basics of quilt making, patchwork, and finally quilting throw blankets. Blankets created during the workshop will be donated to La Casa de Las Madres, an organization working to end violence against women and children.

*This workshop is open to all experience levels and ages. Families are welcome. A limited amount of materials and sewing machines will be available to use but participants are also encouraged to bring their own materials.
