Join artist Ger Xiong for a hands-on workshop in which we will cross stitch Hmong patterns into replicated French Indochina coins. Xiong cast the coins in brass at the Kohler Co. factory during his Arts/Industry residency. We will explore traditional patterns and symbols and learn more about Hmong textiles and metalsmithing processes. Xiong will lead discussions about what it means to be Hmong and how identity shapes our everyday living.

The embellished coins from this workshop will be on view at the Hmong New Year celebration, November 29–30, hosted by the Hmong Mutual Assistance Association of Sheboygan.

Refreshments will be served– come, make your mark!

This workshop is offered in collaboration with the John Michael Kohler Art Center
