Featuring a selection of Mei Choi's creations, this exhibit invites guests to come and interact with each item by trying things on and accessing the sewing patterns for each piece.
Mei Choi is a self-taught textile artist born in Hong Kong and currently residing in Coquitlam. Her art weaves the mediums of sewing, upcycling, altering, thrifting, and storytelling. Her practice is mainly centered on two principles: creativity and practicality; with her projects exploring the resourcefulness, adaptability, and appreciation of community-oriented life – while at the same time creating something tangible, functional, and useful.
Free. No Registration Required.
Mei will also be holding open studio hours and a workshop at Mackin House throughout November.
