• Patch by Unrecorded Maker(s)
  This patch was made during the "Community Making Day", held at MAKE Southwest in Bovey Tracey, UK on 26 June, 2024. This event was run in collaboration with MAKE Southwest's monthly drop-in session, Weave Wednesday, hosted at MAKE Southwest's Riverside Mill and facilitated by Maker Member and Textiles Artist, Jane. During the event, participants were introduced to "The Art of Fiction" and the Patchwork Object Project. Jane led a workshop on indigo dying and participants experimented with this technique in the context of patch making. Patches and dye were supplied to participants along with MAKE Southwest's art making supply stash; participants were also encouraged to bring their own supplies. After this event, the Project PI returned to Weave Wednesday on several occasions to continue making with the group and to support their contributions to the Patchwork Object Project.

  This patch was made during the "Patchwork and Creativity Workshop", held in Cambridge, UK on 19 and 20 September, 2024. This two-day workshop used the theme of “Patchwork and Creativity” to prompt conversations about modes of being and knowing that emphasise the collaborative, the collective, the non-linear, and the potentially deconstructive or resistant forms of creativity that have not historically been privileged by Western art histories. During this workshop, participants were invited to co-create patches with one another. Participants were given access to pre-cut material and art supplies and a brief introduction to the Patchwork Object Project. They were then invited to mark the patch in any way that they felt inspired to. At three points during the workshop, participants swapped patches and continued working on patches worked on by others. Afterwards, participants were invited to identify which patches they contributed to; some participants chose to do this, some participants chose to remain an 'unrecorded maker'. We chose to use the term ‘unrecorded maker’, rather than the more common ‘anonymous’ or ‘maker unknown’ following discussion during the workshop around the fact that many women’s contributions to art and craft work, particularly work that was collaboratively made, was not unknown in its time, just not acknowledged or recorded by history.
