Studio 1


This class is an introduction to fiber sculpture with an emphasis on recycled/upcycled materials. All levels are welcome! Students will develop foundational skills in hand sewing, dry needle felting, and building armatures to create three-dimensional objects and sculptures. Skill building exercises will include things like hand sewing on different types of fabric, developing patterns for three dimensional objects, needle felting onto flat surfaces and three-dimensional surfaces, and using craft wire and chicken wire to build armatures for fiber sculpture. Over the course of the 7-week class, students will work on a few small-scale projects as they learn the foundational skills of sewing and hand felting before transferring these skills to three-dimensional objects. The final project will be open ended in any media worked on in the class, including mixed media.

All materials will be provided by the instructor, but students are welcome to bring in their own fiber for reuse from things like old clothes, old blankets, sheets, etc. Students are encouraged to come in curious about creative reuse of materials and working three-dimensionally.

Studio 3


In this workshop, students will learn all the steps to create a T-shirt quilt by hand, no sewing machines needed. They will complete a portion of a quilt with personal textiles in the "quilt-as-you-go" method and have all the tools they need to finish the quilt after the workshop. Give your sentimental clothing a second life in the form of a quilt!
