  • Library NExt: Eclipse

  • 2-Week Enamel Jewelry Workshop
    San Diego Craft Collective welcomes Ashley Lohr, a special guest artist and educator from Southeast Alaska this month! In this workshop, students will be introduced to the art of powder enamel and learn the skills to create 2-pairs of torch-fired enamel earrings and 1 pendant. Students will be using lead-free Thompson enamel on copper metal. Enamel is a glassy compound applied to and bonded by heat (fusion) to a metal surface. We will be using a handheld butane torch as our heat source. Learn how to prep, sift enamel, clean fire scale, and fire with a handheld butane torch: • Students will have their own enameling station/ will not be sharing materials. • Choose from a variety of copper metal shapes to enamel on. • Work with 11 Thompson powder enamel colors to choose your palette. • Use stencils, sgraffito tools, and frit to create your own unique designs. All jewelry created will be ready to wear at the end of the workshop.

  • Learn to Quilt: Upgrade a Jacket or Bag
    In this workshop, you will design and sew your own quilt blocks and attach them to a pre-loved item of your choosing (we recommend you bring a tote bag or jacket*). You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind item you’ll be proud to use or wear. Intuitive quilting is the process of creating a quilt (or quilt block) using your intuition and sense of creativity. You’ll select fabric scraps in shapes and colors that you’re drawn to without too much planning. We’ll move through the process without limits, allowing for creativity to flow freely. This course is for beginners and seasoned quilters alike. If you’ve never used a sewing machine before, you’ll be guided on how to sew simple straight lines, gentle curves and how to appliqué. If you’ve sewn apparel or quilts using patterns before, you’ll be encouraged to put away the “rules” and sometimes rigid guidelines of traditional quilting to tap into a more freeform and intuitive way of quilting. No experience necessary. Ages 16+ welcome! *Please bring items made from woven material only (non-stretch). Sweatshirts and anything made from knit fabric are not suitable for use in this class. Tote bags are also available for purchase from San Diego Craft Collective.* • Scholarships available • Homeschooler vendors welcome • Military and sibling discounts
