Instructor Gir Session

Hi, I’m Gir Session! I’m a costume maker, textile artist, and sewing instructor with over 15 years of experience working with fabric, color, and design. I love helping people discover just how fun and approachable textile arts can be—whether you’re trying something new for the first time or looking to expand your creative toolbox.

In my classes, you’ll learn practical techniques in a relaxed, welcoming environment where curiosity and creativity are encouraged. My goal is for everyone to leave with a unique project they’re proud of, new skills, and the confidence to keep creating long after class is over.

Join me as we explore the colorful world of textile stamping and discover how a few simple techniques can transform plain fabric into something completely your own.
