With Amanda Banks & Saudade Toxosi
Coffee is one of the most traded commodities in the world. Its supply chain touches nearly every continent and carries a long, complicated history of land, labor, and extraction.
Artist Amanda Banks has spent time tracing her own family's connection to that history. The burlap sacks she latch-hooks aren't just reclaimed materials. They're a way of working through what she's learned, stitch by stitch.
In this hands-on workshop, Banks will teach participants basic latch-hook techniques using reclaimed coffee sacks and recycled yarn. While you work, she'll share what she's uncovered about her family's roots in the coffee industry and invite a broader conversation about the systems design makes visible and invisible.
Artist Saudade Toxosi joins the session with a guided coffee tasting, exploring how geography, tradition, and process shape what ends up in your cup.
You'll leave with a finished or in-progress fiber piece, and a different way of thinking about something you encounter every day.
