Thank you for joining us for community felting!
Various Community Events • 2018 – 2019
We live in a remarkable neighborhood. With a continent-long river on one side and a city-to-city train on the other, people from near and far have found their way to a home in Prospect Park, some for a semester, some for generations. Our neighborhood is a crossroads of history and future, nature and urban living, handcraft and craft brewing—and it’s changing by the minute. What connections can keep us grounded in Prospect Park even as it changes around us?
Building a Neighborhood Together is a giant 7×8-foot felt board with a neighborhood map as the foundation layer. Community members were invited to participate in creating neighborhood landmarks using wet and needle felting techniques and wool. These elements were then attached to the felt map so that they could be moved and changed as the neighborhood changes.
Textile Center is proud to be a part of the Prospect Park neighborhood in Minneapolis. Building a Neighborhood Together: Our Place in Prospect Park was unveiled as part of our 25-year Anniversary Celebration in 2019.
