As a part of Aqua Books' Crafty Minions Handmade and Vintage Craft Sale, Jennifer Still and Jennifer Beaudry will take over one of the writers' studios and create a "nestallation" that draws from their recent collaboration, Nest, on Friday, December 4.
The event begins at 11:00 am and lasts until 5:00 pm
Screenprinted in a laced concertina design, Nest is hand-assembled with salvaged 1970s vintage materials including kitchen wallpaper, couch upholstery, owl needlepoints and baby yarn.
Each limited-edition copy is wrapped in a needle-felted slipcover.
Guests are invited to join in a sewing-circle style reading and book talk with the opportunity to add their own stitches/layers to the room.
