More about the event:
Why Women’s League & PKG Center? The namesake of the PKG Center, Priscilla King Gray, taught crewel embroidery at MIT from 1978 to 2007. The group she founded continues to this day, as the MIT Women’s League Fiber Crafts Group. Crafting has been critical in the history of women’s socioeconomic mobility and remains well aligned with MIT’s mens et manus motto.
If you are looking to learn new fiber arts skills this winter prior to this stitch-along opportunity, sign up for one of the data-driven embroidery workshops over IAP sponsored by the MIT PKG Public Service Center.
Thank you to our sponsors: MindHandHeart, MIT Women’s League and MIT PKG Public Service Center.
