About
_Handcrafted: RAM Community Art Show_ celebrates the connection between artist, process, and material—acknowledging how we shape materials and how they shape us. From ceramics and sculpted wood to quilted textiles and metalwork, each piece reflects the unique hands that created it. For this exhibition, artists in RAM's community were invited to share work that explores the relationship between maker and material, whether rooted in tradition, inspired by cultural heritage, or born from experimentation with new techniques or media. In celebration of 250 years of handcraft in America, _Handcrafted_ explores how creating can build community, inspire collaboration, create dialogues, or honor skills passed down through generations. In 2025, Milwaukee-based mixed media artist Rosy Petri hosted a workshop series at Spectrum School of the Arts and Gallery titled _Milwaukente Community Quilt Dye Days_. Participants were invited to learn about the art of dyeing and contribute to a community project. Additionally, members of RAM's SPARK! program helped create block-printed designs on the dyed fabric. _All This and More_ is comprised of the finished fabric stitched together by Petri.
