SUMMARY:The Art of Mending: Manifold Selves in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Reconnect with your creativity\, reflect on the many parts of who you are through your own patch pattern\, and learn the basics of sewing machines\, while being intentional with the material and design – all in a relaxed\, collaborative space. No experience needed\, just come ready to create and connect. \nWe’ll begin with a quick demo on pattern design\, then move into guided\, hands-on time to design and make your patch. You’ll also have a chance to learn how to use a sewing machine\, so you can get fancy with your patterns. A curated selection of sustainably sourced fabrics and materials will be available so you can focus on bringing your idea to life. \nBring a piece of clothing or fabric that has a special meaning to you – or one that’s ready for a new story. If you’d rather start fresh\, plain tote bags will also be available. \nSet in a cozy café-creative space\, this workshop is designed to help you slow down\, make something with your hands\, and connect with others. Come solo or with friends\, grab a drink or treat\, settle in\, and leave with a creation that’s fully you. \nSCHEDULE [3 hrs]\n10:30 – 10:40am : Welcome + introductions\n10:40 – 11:00am: Patch pattern intro\n11:00 – 11:30am: Sewing machine basics + open sewing\n11:30 – 01:10am: Patch pattern design\n01:10 – 01:30pm: Show and tell + mingle \n**This will be split into groups for everyone to have enough time to learn and use the sewing machines provided by the local creative nonprofit network. \nThe workshop will be led by Nicole Shen\, a maker at heart who believes creativity and sustainability go hand in hand. Through sewing\, knitting\, crocheting\, and the occasional painting or drawing\, she finds joy in giving new life to old materials\, whether that’s repurposing a forgotten shirt into a tote bag she uses every week or turning fabric scraps into something entirely new. For her\, making things isn’t just a hobby; it’s a way of being intentional about what she creates and consumes.

SUMMARY:NICOLEHOLLIS Collection at Minnesota Street Project
DESCRIPTION:MINNESOTA STREET PROJECT WELCOMES NICOLEHOLLIS COLLECTION \n  \nNew introductions include limited edition decor\, tabletop\, and textiles\, and exclusive collaboration with Ogata \nMay 12 – June 10\, 2026 \nSAN FRANCISCO\, CA (May 7\, 2026) — Minnesota Street Project will host a four-week pop-up by San Francisco interior design studio NICOLEHOLLIS from May 12 through June 10\, 2026. The activation is the first public presentation of the NICOLEHOLLIS Collection — a line of limited-edition\, artist- and artisan-made objects for the home that embody timeless beauty\, soulful craft\, and quiet sophistication— and joins a slate of new programming that has expanded what Minnesota Street Project hosts in its tenth-anniversary year. \nThe NICOLEHOLLIS Collection features works by Alexandra Kohl\, Alexandra Llewellyn\, Arno Declercq\, Baba Tree Basket Co.\, Caroline Blackburn\, David/Nicolas\, Dougall Paulson\, Kaikado\, Lisa Sacco\, Madda Studio\, MAD et LEN\, Maxime Perrolle\, Michael Anastassiades\, Pacha Design\, Peter Speliopoulos\, Robert Lee Morris\, Rogan Gregory\, Samuel Sparrow\, Sasinun Kladpetch\, and Toyine Sellers. \nFounded in 2016 to provide economically sustainable space for galleries\, artists\, and arts nonprofits in San Francisco\, Minnesota Street Project has used its tenth year to broaden the kinds of work it presents. The NICOLEHOLLIS pop-up extends that arc into design and craft. \n“As we mark our tenth year\, we’ve been thinking about how Minnesota Street Project should evolve while staying anchored in the mission we started with: supporting working artists and strengthening the creative community in San Francisco\,” says Aimee Le Duc\, Executive Director of Minnesota Street Project. “Hosting NICOLEHOLLIS lets us experiment with new formats and welcome audiences who may not have come through our doors before.” \nRooted in Nicole Hollis’s personal relationships with celebrated and emerging artists around the world\, the Collection spans more than 200 designs across décor\, textile\, tabletop\, and scent\, drawn from 26 artists and artisans whose studios stretch from a sixth-generation Kyoto craft house to weavers in Ghana and Oaxaca to ateliers in Beirut\, Paris\, London\, and the Bay Area. Every piece is offered in limited quantities and for a limited time\, brought together in the studio’s signature neutral palette\, rich textures\, and crafted materials. \nThe pop-up will also debut the studio’s latest suite of pieces — an expansion of original designs from the NICOLEHOLLIS studio that translates its interiors practice into a refined offering of bronze\, alabaster\, marble\, and oak objects. Introductions include new work from Alan Meredith Studio\, Underwater Weaving\, Baba Tree Basket Company\, Peter Speliopoulos\, Kaikado\, and the NICOLEHOLLIS studio itself\, alongside an exclusive collaboration with the Paris- and Tokyo-based Japanese atelier OGATA\, including a custom incense blend and a series of incense and tea accessories. Known for its reverence for material\, ritual\, and the passage of time\, OGATA reflects a natural alignment between the two brands\, where tradition is reinterpreted with restraint and intention.  \n“The Collection is rooted in mindfulness\,” says Nicole Hollis. “Each piece has been built slowly\, the culmination of over twenty-five years of working with some of the most gifted designers\, artists\, and craftspeople that I’ve been fortunate enough to know\, or that I always wished to. Many of these pieces have been previously procured for private clients\, and others have been designed specifically for our collection. I am honored to make them available to a wider audience. We are excited to partner with Minnesota Street Project to showcase these pieces to our San Francisco neighbors\, on view and shoppable for the first time.” \n  \nMinnesota Street Project\, 1275 Minnesota Street\, San Francisco \nOpen hours from 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM Tuesday – Saturday\, and by appointment; Closed May 22-23.  \nPlease contact concierge@nicoleholliscollection.com for scheduling private appointments
