October Craftivism Class will feature artist Domonique King (@woodwoolsteel), who will teach participants how to make portraits of Angela Davis using wood, nails, and yarn. Each person will create a small 8 x 10 in portrait. Create a work of art and learn about the life of Angela Davis.

Domonique King (She/Her) is a San Diego artist who creates intricate art portraits using yarn and nails. Her work aims to "uplift Black folk through beautiful images of Black faces, bodies + culture." She is the sole creator and owner of WoodWoolSteel. Her work can be found in collections by Spike Lee and Andra Day.

Students must bring their own hammers.

About Craftivism Classes: From yarn bombing to femmage, the Women's Museum's Craftivism Classes invites a local artist featured in the Women's Museum's current "Crafting Feminism" exhibit to teach participants a crafting skill and how they can use it in their activism.
