The Woskob Family Gallery is a contemporary art space in downtown State College that brings a cohesive and carefully curated program of exhibitions and events to central Pennsylvania. Run by Penn
State’s College of Arts and Architecture, the gallery serves as a laboratory for exploring how the arts can catalyze creative placemaking. The gallery’s mission is to forge new relationships between the university and local communities, increase the perception of downtown State College as a cultural destination, and spark new creative enterprises. Through partnerships with the borough, local government, and existing arts and cultural organizations, we seek a greater local investment in arts and culture projects.

Join us for a hands-on textile workshop exploring memory, personal journeys, and the stories held in materials. What story can a piece of fabric tell?

Create a 10" × 10" textile piece using thread, yarn, fabric, and found materials — knit, stitch, weave, collage, or glue. Bring something with a story: a piece of clothing, fabric from a family member, or a meaningful scrap. Materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own.

Optional materials to bring:
Yarn, thread, ribbon, or fabric strips/scraps, embroidery/tapestry needles, scissors, straight pins

Finished pieces may join the exhibition or go home with you. Open to all. No textile experience necessary.

Led by Charlene Gross, Associate Professor of Costume Design.
