To Keep You Warm is a collaborative project by students in the Craft/Material Studies Department. The artists used the skills they’ve learned over the course of the semester to design and create full sized quilts. Scraps of fabric, upcycled clothing and domestic materials were carefully considered, dyed, cut and brought together through the work of many hands.
These quilts were donated to patients in palliative care at the VCU Massey Cancer Center upon the closing of the exhibition. The focus of this care center is to improve the quality of life for patients of any age in grappling with a serious illness. The students were proud to connect with these patients and give back to their community.
