Instructor: Kate Jackson

Create your own unique textile artwork while exploring a wide range of approaches over this eight-week class. Starting with creative exercises in drawing and collage, a different technique will be taught each week, allowing participants to create samples and gain experience with a variety of textile materials and methods of making. As the weeks progress, participants will combine these techniques to create an artwork inspired by their own memories from photos, journals, oral stories or writing using collage, applique, and embroidery.

No previous experience with these textile techniques is necessary. All skill levels are welcome, and registration is open to learners ages 16 and up.
