Knitting Circle and Artist Talk with Emma Buswell

Join artist Emma Buswell for an afternoon of knitting and conversation. For Emma, knitting is a way of committing ideas to stitch and giving voice to deeper anxieties around politics, livelihood, and the future.

This event invites you to spend a few hours with other knitters and artists, enjoy some conversation and thread ideas together through making. Bring along your own knitting project or a fresh pair of needles if you’re new to the craft. Non-knitters are also welcome – to share in the open discussion around Emma’s practice. Drinks and snacks provided!
