There is still space in Jana Wilson’s Second Look: Found Object Art. 🧩

This class invites artists to reimagine everyday and vintage materials, transforming them into elements of a visual story. Working with familiar objects in new ways encourages artists to shift their perspective, strengthen their imagination, and discover new possibilities within their creative practice. Like taking a bead and making it into a muffin- who knew?!

🪡Beginner Stitches, Appliqué, and Mola - Skill-Builder Workshop
Three-hour, pay-what-you-can workshop gives an introduction (or recap!) of hand embroidery stitches, appliqué, and reverse appliqué.

Take this beginner-friendly, low-pressure skill-builder if you are new or rusty, if you missed the first offering this summer or if you want to take it again!

From a previous student: “This class was so interesting, & fun to learn a new artform”
Saturday, September 19, 1:00 - 4:00 pm

🧵Stitch & Texture: Exploring Mola and Colombian Calado Workshop
Two-day workshop and a broader look at embroidery stitches and hand-stitching techniques. It’s a perfect introduction to the world of textile art, including a taste of the Mola technique (reverse appliqué).

This workshop repeats some of the Beginner Stitches lessons while expanding on them and would be a good complement.
Thursdays, September 17 and 24, 6:00 - 9:00 pm

🪡Stitch & Texture: Exploring Fabric Manipulations Workshop
Two-day workshop bringing more dimension into textile projects with sculptural fabric manipulation techniques.
Focusing on the art of hand stitching, explore traditional and contemporary methods, enhance your technical stitching skills, and add rich texture to your fiber repertoire.

A perfect complement to Stitch & Texture: Exploring Mola and Colombian Calado, or to the Beginner Stitches, Appliqué, and Mola - Skill-Builder Workshop.
Sundays, September 27 and October 4, 1:00 - 4:00 pm

For all of these: Please bring reading glasses if you need them for close-up work! 👓
