Mini Winter Hats with Alexandria Masse
Get ready to kick off your creative side at this football-themed workshop! Whether you’re Honolulu blue through and through or just here for the halftime snacks, you’ll score big as we learn to craft miniature winter with artist Alexandria Masse. Perfect as decorations, keychains, or game-day lucky charms. Alexandria will be your Dan Campbell – coaching you along every play, you’ll be weaving yarn like Gibbs weaves through the opposition. Grab your whole team (or come solo) and join us to make something super bowl-worthy. Let’s craft, cheer, and stay cozy together this winter. AWE is bringing out the One Pride’s creative side!”
Meet the Artist: Alexandria Masse
Alexandria Masse is an artist that often works with textiles and fibres to construct wearable art. Masse holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Textiles/Fashion with a Minor in Art History at NSCAD University. Masse works with fibre and fabric to construct wearable art. She is fascinated by how a material can be manipulated and uses sewing, knitting and crochet to make soft sculptures and wearables. In addition, her constant battle with racial imposter syndrome drives her to discover new ways to cherish and reclaim her culture within her work. Masse often works with subject matter inspired by her mothers culture and insects from her backyard. She establishes connections between childhood memories and relates them to present day experiences. As a woman in craft, she constantly finds herself challenging the preconceived notion of textiles and craft. Masse utilizes crochet and sewing to connect and continue the matriarchal traditions of craft in her family.
Alexandria was one of AWE’s 2023 RBC Emerging Artist in Residence.
