Open House & Workshop｜The Invisible Trajectory: Carry Me Home by Caroline Ip

Workshop: Carry Me Home

During the Artist in Residency and Open House at Schubertstrasse in Zurich Caroline will invite visitors to consider how textiles shape our sense of belonging and comfort creating keepsakes that embody a feeling of home.

Expanding the notion of home as a static place this workshop will be an opportunity to explore the house on Schubertstrasse and the objects within it as a multisensory ever-changing archive – holding stories of those who have lived here those who visit and those who may call it home in the future.

Whether the clothes we wear fabrics which furnish our buildings or the soft toys we played with as children textiles play a significant role in our lives. They carry profound meanings reflecting cultural heritages connections to loved ones and the stains worn patches and scents that accumulate through use.

In this session we will explore how home is created through these sensory memories. Using hand-stitching techniques you’ll create your own small textile artwork weaving in elements of your personal story alongside the narrative of the house and creating a piece of home to carry with you!

– Open to all ages and no sewing experience is required – the workshop will introduce basic stitching techniques and will be an opportunity to respond to the collection of textiles in your own way.

– We invite you to bring textiles and objects with you to use which hold personal meaning (e.g. buttons scraps of fabric from handed-down clothing) if you like but we will have lots of fabric haberdashery items and supplies available too so this is not required.
