EVENING–Gravenhurst–Red Dress Pins

Join us for our evening workshop–this month you can either continue on UFO’s (UnFinished Objects) or make a Red Dress Pin while learning how to do an edging stitch.

Red Dress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ People, is observed annually on May 5th. It serves as a day of mourning and remembrance for the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada, and a call to action to end violence against Indigenous people. The day is marked by the wearing of red, inspired by Métis artist Jamie Black’s REDress Project, which involved hanging red dresses in public spaces to symbolize the missing.
