Join textile artist Shea for an immersive one-day workshop exploring the intersection of place, water, and textile arts. Participants will create a beautiful 6" x 6" textile map featuring the waterways of the Mississippi River near the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, using accessible stencil techniques that can be replicated at home.
Through storytelling and hands-on textile techniques, you'll explore:
- Color theory and design composition principles
- Appliqué and hand sewing methods
- Stencil-based textile mapping techniques
- Professional finishing methods for mounting textile art to canvas
You'll complete: One finished 6" x 6" map-based textile piece stretched to canvas, ready to display in your home.
This workshop specifically celebrates the Upper Mississippi region, using map templates of the Mississippi River waterways surrounding the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. As participants work with these local waterways, they'll develop a deeper connection to the water that shapes our region and artistic traditions.
This workshop is suitable for participants with basic sewing knowledge, including familiarity with using a sewing machine. All skill levels welcome - from confident beginners to experienced sewers looking to explore new techniques.
