“Bring love letters, old clothing, jewelry scraps, paper momentos, and an open mind to this innovative fiber art jewelry workshop. Learn simple ways to preserve and transform paper and fabric momentos by combining them with traditional jewelry components to make a pair of earrings, or a pendant. Earrings can be of indefinite length (hello my concert junkies and statement earring peeps!) or as small as everyday posts, for an understated look.
Preserve bits of books, greeting cards, failed paintings, handwriting, love letters, old papers, precious concert tees, special occasion dresses, ticket stubs, and more in this unique workshop. Using just a few stitches (literally), some dye, a handful of fabric scraps, a bead or two, and a little acrylic, students will create their own jewelry pieces with deep sentimental value, or make fun statement pieces that are both large and lightweight.
All tastes can be accommodated. This beginner-friendly workshop will approach the basics of the fiber arts in a fun and accessible way.

Look like a domestic goddess and learn how to create easy, hand-sewn collages!
These simple, colorful designs can be mounted to a greeting card and sent as happy mail. They can be matted and framed, or hung on the wall, as-is. This beginner-friendly workshop will approach the basics of fiber art and sewing in a fun (promise) and accessible way.
Using just a few stitches (literally), a handful of fabric scraps, and some stickerbacked fabric that disappears in water, students will create textile collages of florals, animals, landscapes, and other simple shapes. Matted collages can be framed, hung on walls, or given as gifts.
Designs will rotate seasonally and can be adapted to meet the needs of every student. All levels of expertise are welcome. Materials are included!

Learn to make outrageous designs with or without a sewing machine! No sew applique uses lightweight fusible web and your pattern pieces cut and stacked to create birds, fish, animals, florals or abstracts.
The pieces will be cut, numbered and assembled in sequence to create a dimensional appliqued work of art.
This masterpiece can be further embellished with buttons, jewels and whatever sparks your imagination. Students can use their own designs or use designs supplied by the instructor.
