Community Rug Hooking Session

The Water We Wear

Rug Hooking Sessions

3rd floor, 232 Botsford Street, Moncton, NB

Participate in my project “The Water We Wear”, a contemporary textile art project that symbolically slows down the cycle of fast fashion through time, care, and labor. 

Choose one or two items of clothing from your wardrobe that you no longer need and join me to incorporate them into the work by rug hooking. No skills required!

Now by appointment. Contact Mélanie at info@melaniepaulin.com
