Detroit-based textile artist Najma Ma’at Wilson will demonstrate how to make stitched collages. Participants will use basic stitching techniques with needles, thread, and a variety of interesting fabrics. Materials are provided.
Ma’at’s love of fiber arts was inspired by her mother. She has a degree in fiber design from the Center for Creative Studies, and a master’s degree in education from Boston College. She taught for 20 years in locations as close as Cass Technical High School and as far as Cotonou Benin, West Africa.
After retiring, Ma’at and a lifetime friend co-owned Detroit Fiber Works for 8 years, selling and showing works of local Detroit artists and providing a space for community conversations until 2020. She is returning to creating her own work from her home studio.
