In this hands-on workshop, you will learn in the community of others, how to mend and decorate your favorite piece of clothing using the age-old traditions of the simple running stitch embroidery such as sashiko and kantha stitching, patching and darning while blending creative joy with usefulness. What you should bring: • A piece of clothing that needs mending, repair or embellishment (e.g. pair of jeans) • A scrap of fabric for patches (print works best, although the fabric shouldn’t be too thin) • & a thimble Instructor will provide: thread, darning/Sashiko needles, and will have some scrap fabric available too.

Clay Open Studio is an opportunity for students to practice the clay skills they have already learned in our clay classes. Students have the chance to work in our studio using either hand building techniques or working on a pottery wheel. This is not an instructional class. There will be no instructor. By signing up for Clay Open Studio, you will receive 1/2 a bag of clay, 1 bisque fire, 1 glaze fire, and use of our glazes. We work with midfire clay. No outside clay is allowed (because disastrous things can happen in the kilns!) Since there is no instruction in Open Studio, some clay experience is necessary. You must have taken one of our clay courses to participate, or have clay experience from elsewhere. If you are throwing work on the wheel, we allow you to come in on the Monday following the first Clay Open Studio date to trim your work.
