This class will demonstrate the magic of working without a pattern and letting your “stash” speak for itself. We will work with shapes and fabric arrangements that do not follow any templates or rules. The outcome will be surprisingly beautiful and will spark the imagination for additional techniques with embellishments and top stitching. Bindings and finishing techniques will be discussed as well. Create an art piece, eye-catching bag, or functional quilt. A sewing machine in good working condition is necessary for this class. If you are a beginner or intermediate sewing artist, this class is for you.

For ecological reasons, as well as a desire to aquire new blothing, we are going to explore ways of reusing existing materials instead of adding to the landfills. Without adding to the problem, we are going to rebuild and renew “old stuff” into its future. Without adhearing to stringent “quilt rules” we will explore different old cultures through a quilting and sewing tradition. We will practice mending, fabric collage, piecework, and patches with the ultimate goal of a new item that can be used, whether on a bed, wall, a table, or even as simple clothing.

Create functional, wearable, hand-printed art! In this beginner-friendly fiber art class, students will be introduced to silkscreen and linoleum block printing on fabric. Through group demos, one-on-one guidance, and hands-on experience, students will learn about printing techniques, tools, fabrics, and inks. Each student will learn to make and print a 2-3 color design. Students will work with silkscreen supplies, such as drawing fluid & screen filler, as well as block printing supplies, like barens and brayers, to create a design, transfer it to a block and/or screen, and print it with ink onto a functional or wearable piece of fabric.
Projects rotate seasonally and include items like aprons, tote bags, t-shirts, and more. Class permitting, hand-dyeing techniques will be taught. No prior experience required! All materials are included.
