SLOW STITCH CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
My Expressive Art Workshops are focused on visual art as a way to increase motivation and self-confidence, foster reflection, develop resilience and improve quality of life. These classes are designed to meet individual client or collective group needs. A safe and supportive environment is provided which supports authentic self-expression.
HAND STITCHING ART QUILTS
Class starts August 25, 2025
Have you ever wanted to play with fabric and create an art quilt composed of cloth and beads and baubles representing your memories, your story, and your images; culminating in a work of fabric art that is unique to you and your life?
Come join me in the studio spaces of Haywood Community College in Waynesville, NC and learn the techniques of hand embroidery, hand stitching, and hand applique. We will learn to balance planning our designs and art making processes with intuition and improvisation.
Experience sharing, creative support, guidance, and problem-solving with others at the community table learning about fabric collage, quilting, and designing with repurposed fabrics—all culminating in a beautifully unique art quilt of your own design.
CLASS DATES: Meets once-a-week from August 25th to October 21st, 2025. For more information and to register CLICK HERE.
BEADS, BOTTLES & BOOKS
Class starts August 27, 2025
Have you ever wondered what to do with your recycled glass bottles? Do you have collections of small fabric scraps, snippets of thread, and pieces of unused batting that need a home in a work of art? Look no further and join us in the class, Beads, Books, & Bottles, in the Haywood Community College studios in Waynesville, NC.
We will put creative use to fabric, thread, needles, and batting to learn how to make a fabric book, many fabric beads, and a fabric vase. Learn the techniques of stitching a pamphlet book together after beautifully decorating the book pages with fabric collage and a variety of embroidery stitches. Apply hand applique to the fabric covering your glass bottle. Curl, roll, and stitch fabric together to create fabric beads.
We will learn to balance planning our designs and art making processes with intuition and improvisation. Experience sharing and instructional support in learning a variety of fabric art techniques which culminate in three 3D works of fiber art.
