About the event
Stitching the World: Textile Maps in the Classroom
A 90-Minute Tactile Art Session
Maps are more than directions—they are stories of where we’ve been and where we’re going. When students translate a map from a flat drawing into a textured piece, geography and history come to life. This session is perfect for students who struggle with traditional drawing, offering a fresh, hands-on way to build focus and spatial awareness. It is also for social studies teachers wishing to add a cross-curricular project to their curriculum.
Included:
A resource of the curated images used in the workshop and activities
Low-Sew/No-Sew Project Guide: A step-by-step framework adaptable for any student's ability level.
