“Après moi, le déluge” Valentino: The Last Emperor
Kristin Mariani Frieman is a Chicago based dressmaker, designer, and artist who founded the label RedShift, a line of contemporary couture created from salvaged materials and found garments. A Sample of Making is a RedShift design project that provides a platform for the intensive labor involved in making clothing. For a period of three weeks the designer will produce singular garments within the Spoke gallery space from her collection of salvaged wools in a spectrum of colors. Seeking to present her process of design alongside the product of her practice, she aims to create opportunities for critical exchange by engaging others in the design process. Working with several interns, the designer will have open studio hours, hold a workshop, and host a closing event to view the work created at Spoke.

How we see gray informs how we see color. This is a do-it-yourself (make yourself cozy) workshop based on Josef Albersʼ gradation study from his book Interaction of Color. Working from salvaged gray wools from the RedShift collection, participants will create a gray wool scarf or pair of mittens using a combination of hand and machine sewing processes. The workshop takes place over two consecutive Saturdays and is open to all skill levels, ages, and disciplines. Participants are welcome to display their final projects as part of the closing event for A Sample of Making.
