Join artist Ruthanne Harrison for an afternoon of creating textile designs using block printing and stenciling. We’ll be experimenting with designing motifs for printing, using color combinations, and creating repeat patterns.
You will leave with a printed scarf, along with any other items you may choose to bring to print on (cotton t-shirts, fabric scraps, repurposed fabric cut from bed sheets, etc.). Printing materials will be supplied, and no prior experience is needed! This is a workshop for all, ages 15 and up.
November 9 from Noon–2pm. $65
A great class is for anyone who wants to learn how to shibori! This would be a great afternoon out for a team building activity, birthday party or a nice gift for a friend or family member. Elise DeSalvo will teach the process of shibori-dyeing using indigo dye on fabric for practice, making a distinctive blue & white pattern. You will then dye one “dad-hat” cap provided by Elise.
All materials and supplies will be provided including a white unisex cap, fabric, gloves, masks, eye protection, and indigo dye.
Suitable for adults & kids (minimum 10 years old).
Macrame a plant hanger! In this class you'll learn a few basic macrame knots and how to put them together to make a unique and functional plant hanger. They make excellent holiday gifts, and of course you can never have just one in your own home so this is a skill that you will be glad to acquire! All materials will be provided by the instructor ($5 fee payable during class).
January 11 from Noon–2pm. $65
