Linden Creates > Textile Assemblage with Shannon Slee
Join us for a creative crafternoon at this interactive textile assemblage workshop led by textile artist Shannon Slee.
At the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to produce their own hand-stitched art forms, under the mentored guidance of Shannon Slee whose work explores how fabric can carry memory and experience, finding new life in old scraps. This workshop is presented as part of the exhibition Material Remains, which includes Shannon Slee’s own textile assemblage Quilt for Ansett Flights South (2022), now showing in the Linden Projects Space until 6 August.
Participants will be required to bring 6-8 pieces of fabric, perhaps from discarded clothing, items of sentimental value, or leftovers from
the sewing box. Pins, needles, fabric scissors, and embroidery thread will be provided. Everyone is welcome, no prior experience
needed.

SHANNON SLEE
Shannon Slee is an artist based in Wurrundjeri Woi Wurrung Country in Melbourne’s north. Slee’s projects stem from stories of women’s experiences, responding with textile installations that seek to dismantle linear understandings of time and provide space for additional voices. Desiring to connect with the genealogy of women’s culture, Slee repurposes historical techniques for salvaging and utilising discarded clothes, fabric remnants and haberdashery items, unpicking and piecing them back together, to make objects as an act of care.
