Geometric patchwork of Anglo-Saxon origin arrived in the Azores through the influence of North American emigrants, who were also responsible for introducing the manual sewing machine, which became widespread in the late 19th century. This practice became more common during the 1960s and 1970s, thanks to the popular reuse of polyester, a material that arrived in barrels of clothing from America. Because it does not fray, polyester was easier to work with, allowing the creation of \u201cshaped blankets,\u201d many of them featuring classic American patchwork patterns. In this workshop, led by an experienced craftswoman, participants will create small domestic items in patchwork, using this technique of repurposing fabric scraps.<\/p> \n

Instructor: Maria da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o Correia Gomes
Target audience: 8 adult participants with sewing experience
Free participation, subject to prior registration by phone at 295 240 800 or by email at museu.angra.agenda@azores.gov.pt<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n\n
