Peoria mixed-media artist Trish Williams will share and discuss her work before leading attendees through a workshop where each will create a self-portrait collage using various textiles. From Williams’ website: “I bring together the rhythm of hand dyed, painted and commercially made fabrics with the syncopated lines of my quilting to tell stories about the African Diaspora and my community.” All supplies will be provided. Registration is required and limited to 15 adults, age 17+. Registration opens at 10 am on Tuesday, March 5. Register by calling 309.261.3935. Neither in-person nor online registration will be offered.
