In this workshop, Nancy will show you how to embellish photos using basic embroidery stitch techniques on a collection of vintage photos and postcards that will be provided. She will share examples of historic and contemporary works to show the various approaches to this process.

Materials will be provided. No prior experience is required. 

This workshop is part of Nancy Cole’s solo exhibition Collaboration With the Dead, which will be on view at the Hilda Woolnough Gallery at The Guild until August 30th.

Accessibility

The art of embellishing photos workshop presented by Nancy Cole will take place at the Hilda Woolnough Gallery at The Guild. The venue’s front left door on Queen Street has an automatic door opener button, and staff operate an elevator lift to provide accessible movement between the lobby and the gallery level downstairs.

There are two gender neutral washrooms: one inside the gallery, which is accessed via a narrow hallway, and a second located behind the gallery, which has a wider corridor, more space, and grab bars.

An Access Station is located at the gallery entrance, stocked with sensory tools and toys designed to support a positive experience for neurodivergent and neurotypical visitors alike.

Our staff are trained to provide assistance during your visit, or e-mail Lisa with accessibility questions at director@thistownissmall@gmail.com
