Perfectly Imperfect Mark Making

Workshop Description:

Our world moves very fast.  This retreat-like workshop focuses on slowing down and relishing in process rather than product.  Supplies needed are minimal and no machine is necessary. Small compositions will be created with an emphasis on how to use the hand stitch as a major design element.   So grab a bag of fabric scraps and your favorite hand sewing tools, and jump on board.  This is not a technique workshop where you learn how to hand stitch.  The focus is on using the stitch line as mark making on cloth.  The stitch marks are the brush strokes that make the composition complete.  Each day opens with a design presentation.  Students will explore personal mark making preferences, with the power of parallel play in groups.
