Oberlin Square Cuff
This large cuff was modeled after one of the most famous quilt squares, the Oberlin square. Then hand stitched with real thread, this bracelet is unique take on modern sewing and quilting. It is slightly adjustable.
To create this cuff, I used 3D printing to first create the quilt square model in wax. From there, I cast this model into metal and used real embroidery thread to hand stitch the thread into the cuff. Using this technique I was able to keep the fabric elements in the final fully metal design.
This cuff is part of the Women's Work collection, inspired by traditional quilting.
The Oberlin Square is one of quilting's most recognizable designs, this traditional motif was named after Oberlin College, the first American college to admit black students in 1835 and the first to allow women to receive a Bachelor's degree in 1841.
The first four women to be admitted to Oberlin were: Mary Kellogg, Mary Caroline Rudd, Mary Hosford and Elizabeth Prall, and in 1862, Oberlin graduated Mary Jane Patterson, the first African American woman to earn a college degree.
