As apart of the Collective Threads exhibition and programming, The Invisible Dog is thrilled to welcome Kate Phillips as she leads an embroidery workshop.

Embroidery is an ancient craft, yet the act of using thread to adorn and transform a surface remains timeless. Throughout history, people have employed thread to convey images and words—whether in the form of monograms, labels, diary or signage. Embroidery can serve as a means of identity, storytelling, or even as an act of resistance. In this workshop, we will explore how this craft and its typographic potential can bring us together to experiment with texture and text.

All skill levels are welcome! Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the tools and materials used in embroidery, while discovering how thread and fabric can form a unique visual language. All materials will be provided—just bring your curiosity and creative ideas!

Kate Phillips is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of space, form, and the human experience through an engaging combination of texture, color, text, and materials. While her primary medium is textiles, her creative process often calls for diverse materials and approaches to fully realize each concept. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA, she has crafted a career that spans both academia and the industry, seamlessly blending artistic innovation with professional expertise.
