Peace by Piece seeks to foster community engagement and artistic expression through machine and digital knitting workshops through which artists will create unique fabrics and abstract art pieces symbolizing unity and the diversity of God’s creation.
This project aims to take participants along a journey of discovery and increased awareness of the healing properties of creativity and faith and promote a sense of community through collaborative art making.
Peace by Piece will conclude with an exhibit on Belmont’s campus showcasing the knitted art pieces, a film and photography documenting the process, as well as talks and demonstrations of the knitting machine. The project’s aim is to initiate conversation about faith, technology and the arts while sharing a unique craft that offers mental, physical, and spiritual benefits for the participants and develop a community of makers.
