How do we achieve sustainability? Where does one person even start to make a difference? With this new class we aim to teach students how to begin to make their own wardrobe a sustainable one. Students will bring in garments they no longer wear or do not like the way it fits and together we will come up with creative ways to up-scale, revamp, repurpose it. Let’s all work to keep clothes out of the land- fill!

Level: Beginner, by appointment

​Want to try your hand at spinning your own yarn? Do you have a wheel that is begging to be used? Do you just have the urge to feel the sheep's fleece glide through your fingers and magically turn into yarn? We are here to help with this crash course!

We have a wheel for you to learn on or bring your own. Let's get started!

 It all begins with a single stitch. And long before there were machines to assist, our hands did all the work! The workshop covers the most valuable and most basic techniques of sewing. Students will learn 5 to 6 fundamental stitches, how to securely sew on a button and snap, seams and edge finishing, various decorative stitches, and what are the best tools for the job.

With these basic skills you will be free to sew and mend anywhere life takes you!

Have you been wanting to learn how to use your beautiful sewing machine since it came into your life but you’re not sure how to begin? Or has it been so long that you’ve forgotten how all the bells and whistles work? We can help! Come to the studio for an hour. Bring your machine (and manual if you have it) and we’ll get you on your way to sewing. The Time Is NOW!

Level: Beginner by appointment, Cost: $55 (2.5 hours for single sessions) or ($150 for 2 hours per session/4 sessions contact us to arrange times).

Transition from observer to creator. This workshop is designed for people who have no previous knitting experience and for those wanting to begin again. Come as you are and we will bring to life your creative hands! We will begin with the fundamental building blocks of knitting. We will master at least 2 stitches, cast on, cast off, learn how to increase and decrease, read patterns and symbols.

Several sessions recommended.
