What would graffiti look like if it were made by a grandmother?

That's the question at the heart of Granny Graffiti, the public art practice created by Philadelphia artist Carole Loeffler. Using vintage doilies and simple materials, Loeffler began stitching small affirmations — "It's OK," "Stay Strong," "We are OK" — and installing them on telephone poles and in public spaces as quiet offerings to strangers.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll create your own Granny Graffiti piece to take home or install wherever feels meaningful to you — a telephone pole in your neighborhood, a spot near your office, anywhere a small message might land for someone who needs it.
