Slow Series – Making Things with Rose Pearlman and Erin Boyle
The Garden at Ace Hotel Brooklyn
July 9, 7-8.30pm
Join Rose Pearlman and Erin Boyle for an evening of crafting at Ace Hotel Brooklyn! In celebration of summer and their new book, Making Things: Finding Use, Meaning, and Satisfaction in Crafting Everyday Objects, we invite you to join us in learning two meditative crafts that use simple supplies to make functional objects perfect for summer days in the park.
In the first part of the workshop, participants will create a versatile rope carrier. Using just two fingers and cotton clothesline, participants will learn the meditative art of finger-knitting to create an adjustable carrier, perfect for the hands-free toting of picnic blankets.
In the second part of the workshop, participants will learn how to make their own adjustable knitting loom. They’ll use the loom to knit an open-net string bag perfect for carrying summer fruit, a bottle of wine, or a potluck offering.
All materials and supplies are included in the price of the workshop and are yours to keep.No experience necessary and all abilities welcome.Signed books will be available for purchase.

About Rose and Erin
Rose and Erin met in 2018 and immediately struck up a friendship, united by a reverence for everyday objects. Their approach towards craft reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and accessibility. As they write in the introduction to their new book Making Things, “Craft can be exquisite and exacting, the result of formal training and years of practice, but it can also be experimental and messy and not quite perfect.” Making Things features more than 100 projects designed to bring a sense of playfulness and flair to the everyday, with step-by-step guides to creating clay incense burners, boxes made from discarded magazines, sewn cardboard toys and more.
Rose Pearlman is an artist, teacher, and textile designer. Her first book was Modern Rug Hooking. Erin Boyle is the author of Simple Matters and the subscription newsletter, Tea Notes. They both live in Brooklyn, NY with their families.
