TEXTILES – SUMMER SESSION 5
July 14-26, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Natalie Chanin
Creative Explorations in Textiles

This workshop will focus on fabric manipulation through embroidery, stenciling, patterning, and coloration. Students will learn to hand sew using artisan-inspired techniques, including appliqué and a variety of thread and embroidery work in contemporary embellishment methods. Using organic cotton jersey, we will explore inspiration, color, layout, and the creative process for fabric designs. Class members will complete sample blocks that can be used as references for larger projects or pieced together to create a range of products. Please note that this class will not focus on garment construction but on creative process and exploration. All levels. This workshop takes place in a third-floor walk-up studio that has partial access by a stair lift.
