Have your portrait sewn and design accessories at the WCHOF with Saint Louis-based artist Tucker Pierce. Inspired by the portraiture found in our exhibition, “Harry Benson: Kings & Queens,” Tucker will have you in stitches as you watch your likeness (or bring an image of a pet or a loved one) being sewn onto a wearable pin. While Tucker applies the finishing touches, use our creation station and button maker to customize tote bags and design your own flair!

For the past four years, Tucker Pierce has been creating live-sewn portraits (stitched in minutes before your eyes) at events all across the Saint Louis region. Tucker is a graduate of the Fine Art program at Washington University in Saint Louis and has sewed thousands and thousands of tiny faces.
