Feral Childe: Alice Wu & Moriah Carlson

Lecture: Monday, June 27
Workshop: June 27 - July 1

Feral Childe is the Brooklyn-based collaborative of Moriah Carlson and Alice Wu. In the true spirit of assemblage, they often cannibalize their own work, re-using and recycling components. Favorite materials include leather, fake fur, elastic, water putty, spandex, MDF, puffy paint and copper tubing. Feral Childe creations range from wearable and non wearable clothing often fantastical in nature, to accessories, and props and sculptures. Utilizing a renegade approach to the craft of sewing and adapting machine-stitching and hand-stitching, they rip, slash and punch with scissors and blades and make freehand cutout shapes, as well as burn the surfaces, apply iron-on transfers and draw with Sharpie markers. Feral Childe stands for the independent, the adaptive and ever-changing. Rooting around the urban wasteland, often using discarded or unwanted raw materials, the pair takes a distinctly irreverent approach to what one wears and how.

This workshop will draw upon Feral Childe's unique expertise and experimental sewing techniques. Participants will collaborate with Feral Childe to create an original collection. Sewing experience is helpful, but not necessary. All levels are welcome!.
