Homemade Mask (Virtual) Summit: Part 2
On June 17, 2020 and June 20, 2020, Tulane University held the Homemade Mask (Virtual) Summit, organized by the Just Wanna Quilt team of Elizabeth Townsend Gard, Hailey Barnett, Whitney Chatmon, John Spartz, and Becky Blank. Hosted by Newcomb Institute, and co-hosted by the Phyllis Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking, and the Lepage Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. More information can be found at http://www.justwannaquilt.com.

Homemade Mask (Virtual) Summit is where we celebrate the entrepreneurial activities of the mask makers around the country, talk to industrial hygienists about how to safely move around in this world (including how many people should be in an elevator at one time), talk to the scientists, and connect the compassion of caring and making masks with BLM.

Artists and Performer Profiles
Julian McCleary, professional performer on cruise ships that turned to making masks
Ceeley Pedescleaux is a quilter who is everything I aspire to be. Her pieces are nationally known. She is the heart of the Beecher Memorial Quilt Group in New Orleans, and she has, like so many of us, been making masks. She made quilts after Katrina, and she is now working on projects about COVID as well.
Wendy Starn is a fiber artist. We’re going to talk to her about her COVID-19 piece.
Will Nemitoff is the owner Curious Form, a local art fabrication and design business based in New Orleans. He pivoted from making large-scale artworks for events to addressing the PPE shortage with the production of over 10,000 Face Shields.

Industry Pivots
Mattie Rhodes, Quiltsmart, creates products printed on about interfacing and creating custom patterns for them. The mondo bag is legendary in the sewing world. She pivoted to making printed cotton patterns for masks.

Inventions and 3d Printing
