Kate Kilmurray welcomes guest teacher Linda Lutomski to lead an online workshop that will explore using tee shirt cotton to create "tarn" or "tee-shirt yarn". Linda will help you to discover how it can be used with loops, on its own, or with purchased tee yarn, allowing you to create a wonderful weaving material for yourself.

In this two hour online class, Terri Frantz will guide you step by step as you create a sampler of loop embroidery techniques which will allow you to personalize and embellish your woven work with your own inspiration and designs. Experience in looped weaving recommended.

Suzanne Hokanson leads this very popular online workshop.

Potholder looms are hugely versatile and can be used in many different ways to create unique handwoven projects. In this workshop you will explore the possibilities of what you can create on your potholder looms using yarn, fabric and other materials; from tapestries to woven mats to combinations of woven pieces which make something larger.

Are you interested in the art of embellishing and mending textiles by hand? Join us for a special session with Debra Weiss, textile artist and slow stitching master. Needle-weaving not only provides an efficient means to adorn fabrics with colors and patterns, but it also serves as an excellent method for mending.

This is the first workshop in a short series focused on “craftivism,” a term combining craft and activism demonstrating how creativity can be a catalyst for change. Hosted by Aneesa Shami Zizzo and Able ARTS Work Learn for Life this workshop features mending, or the act of repairing one’s clothes, and will cover basic techniques for patching holes. Through the act of mending items we already own, we are choosing to be stewards of our own possessions and take a small stand against over-consumption and fast fashion. By upcycling our textiles, we are diverting landfill-bound objects and giving them new life.
