Local artists Jiahn Kang and Polina Vee have come together to present My Perfect Nature at Peel Gallery in Carrboro, NC. This exhibition draws on each artists’ works, creating visual conversations about the essence of celebration & self.

An exhibition born from introspection and individual exploration, the artists’ themes reflect on eachother to encapsulates the essence of celebration.
In Kang’s words, ”So, let us revel in the beauty of each passing moment, embracing the joy and wonder that permeate our everyday lives. In this collective celebration, we find solace, connection, and a profound appreciation for the gift of being alive.”

JAPANESE EMBROIDERY WORKSHOP: INTRO TO SASHIKO STITCHING
Use running stitches to create accents and all over design to embellish your clothing and textile projects.
Sashiko, meaning Little Pokes, Little Stabs or Small Piercing, is a form of functional embroidery that can both decorate and strengthen textiles. This style originated in Japan, and is an evolution of the 18 century sewing style invented by farmers and the working class, called Boro, which has gained popularity in recent years in the West. We will talk about the difference of cultural appropriation and appreciation, drawing our inspiration from this heritage technique and meditative task. This workshop is taught by Japanese American artist, River Takada, who grew up splitting time between Carrboro and Tokyo.
Max Capacity: 15 people
All ages and levels welcome. No sewing experience is necessary.
Materials: Students are encouraged to bring something to sew on and embellish. Templates, Rulers and drawing utensils (fabric chalk pencils) will be provided for the group to share with a supply kit available - 1 Sewing needle, Japanese Thread, Hand dyed swatch of Indigo Cotton for samples.
