Most garment and quilting classes, and classes that span more than a single meeting, will require that you have access to a sewing machine between classes in order to do your "home work". This way, you will have plenty of time to learn and practice in the studio, and then continue to practice at home. When the class ends, you'll be ready to do it all over again on your own!

     

    Adult basic and garment sewing classes include 2 free hours of independent machine/studio time on a first come first serve basis.

    It's going to go something like this: colors, flowers, colors. Maybe some pattern, too. Hard to say. If you are looking for another dark and gloomy art site: this is not it. If you are looking for something happy, dynamic, and an unapologetic use of color, welp, you are in the right place.

    Open Studio Project:

    Art without Judgement

    903 Sherman Ave

    Adults, Teens, Kids

    In all workshops and classes, participants and facilitators work alongside each other as fellow artists from the very start. The facilitator's ability to navigate the creative process becomes an essential reference point for class participants. Observing a fellow artist giving him/herself over to the creative process and truly benefiting from it, the participants gain the confidence they need to try things out for themselves. During the artmaking session, participants can observe facilitators exploring, experimenting, and problem-solving through their art and writing. As artists-in-residence, facilitators model their willingness to take risks and demonstrate their trust in the creative process.

    The fact that facilitators and participants work together as co-artists has important repercussions for the power relationship between teacher and student. Participants have a chance to view the facilitator as a fellow human being with similar struggles, rather than as an authority figure. A vital element of our process is the "No Comment" rule: neither facilitators nor participants comments on each others artwork – ever.
