Exploring versatile running stitches The technique of decorating a fabric surface with running stitches can be found in many cultures. In this class students will learn 2 types of stitching: Sashiko, which means “little stabs” in Japanese, and Kantha, which translates to “rags” in Sanskrit. The primary function of the stitching was to mend and reuse old but treasured fabric; to gather layers of fabric which then provided warmth and insulation; and/or strengthen the fabric for heavy usage. However, the decorative aspect of this timeless practice became just as important and valued, and its rich “vocabulary” translates into endless pattern variations. Learn traditional Sashiko patterns using simple grid-based stitches such as “zigzag,” “field of flowers,” and traditional patterns using curves such as “ocean waves,” and “rising steam.” We will also cover the organic and flowing art of Kantha stitching. Students will create a beautiful personalized linen table runner or 2 placemats. $15 material fee payable to the instructor at the start of class This class is appropriate for ages 12 years and older. • Scholarships available • Military and sibling discounts For more information visit: sandiegocraft.org Stay Connected on Facebook

Curated by Jason Clay Lewis and Chuck Thomas Opening Reception: 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28 Exhibition Dates: Oct. 28, 2023 - Jan. 20, 2024 About the exhibition (from the gallery) Boundaries Edge is a conceptual exploration about pushing the limits of traditional landscape. A boundaries edge is the limit, the upper or external restriction or the end of the line. In today's rapidly evolving art world, a fascinating fusion of traditional methods have emerged. With this exhibition, we embark on a visual journey celebrating the intersection between art and form. By reducing subject matter to its essentials, the artist in the exhibition elicit a wide range of responses to what is landscape. One of the fascinating things about landscape is its openness to interpretation. Rather than dictating a single narrative, landscape allows the viewer to engage in a personal dialogue with the work, projecting their feeling and experiences onto the canvas. Expressing emotion through landscape serves as a visual language to convey thought beyond words. Through the interplay of color, texture and shape, each artists conveys a range of emotions, from joy and serenity to chaos and introspection. The expressive power of landscape lies in its ability to evoke visceral responses in tune with the viewer's own emotional awareness. Landscape has an inarguable appeal that transcends the boundaries of traditional representation. It's capability to provoke feelings, spark imagination, and foster particular interpretation allows us to embrace the beauty, complexity, and transformative power.
