About The Event

Every third Saturday of each month, stop by the Ames Family Atrium between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to get a firsthand look at the art-making process. Each session provides the opportunity to engage and interact with a different Northeast Ohio maker during pop-up demonstrations and activities. See their work unfold and learn how artists create. Explore a related selection of authentic objects from the CMA’s Education Art Collection in a pop-up Art Up Close session. See, think, and wonder.

Join local arts organization Praxis Fiber Workshop for a look into the world of embroidery. Inspired by the exhibition Arts of the Maghreb: North African Textiles and Jewelry, this program explores the artistry behind embroidery and woven textiles. Try your hand at embroidery, learn more about local fiber arts, and leave with your very own creation!

Praxis Fiber Workshop builds the international network of fiber artists and makers through classes, workshops, residencies, and collaborative projects that teach the art form and demonstrate how fiber art can be used to build healthy, resilient, and inclusive communities. Learn more about Praxis on its website.
