Esteemed curator Edward Maeder will take up residence as a pop up phenomenon in Mt. Airy for three weeks, starting Saturday, February 5. Former Curator of Costumes and Textiles at the L.A. County Museum of Art, and later at Historic Deerfield, Maeder has more recently taken up the mantle of artist and "needleman". In fact, he's been sewing and stitching (in myriad forms) since he was knee-high. The Pop-Up studio will be called "MaederMade"? with a wink toward Duchamp's Readymade work if not Philadelphia's ubiquitous Parking Authority. Throughout much of the two week/three weekend studio, Maeder will be available to engage with the public and lead workshops on unique techniques for working with silks and found papers. Artists and non-artists are welcome, sewing machines are optional. The workshops are appropriate for all levels. Maeder will also lead a special workshop on Paper Accessories for kids 9 to 14 years old. Throughout his residency in Mt. Airy, Maeder will be building historic inspired dresses from found objects the public is welcome to stop by and visit while he is dressmaking.
