Around the Kitchen Table: Crafting Connections Workshop!

This exhibition explores the intrinsic connection between making and communication, proposing the physical act of creation as a language in its own right. Rooted in gesture rather than speech, the works consider how knowledge, memory, and care are transmitted through the hands—across generations, cultures, and stages of life. Shaped as much by lived experience as by material, each piece positions making as both an intimate and communal act, where meaning is formed through touch, repetition, and shared presence.

The artist extends an invitation to audience members to create their own “dumpling” pin, which will be incorporated into the evolving collective installation. Through this shared act, visitors engage directly with the exhibition’s core premise, experiencing firsthand how making can function as a form of silent communication.

If you are unable make it on Feb 28 - please feel free to drop by the gallery between 10a - 5:30p any day of the week to make your 'Dumpling ' pin.

Workshop with Clarissa: February 28 12-2pm
