Instructors: Anna Poor & Roanne Kolvenbach
Monday - Friday
August 12 - 16
9am - 12pm
5 sessions

An open studio filled with sewing machines, a serger, zippers, thread, and a plethora of other supplies. An immersive setting where you can dive into one of the many projects we'll have on hand. Deconstruct and repurpose garments or bring your own works in progress. Throughout the week, you'll develop new skills to apply to garment construction, pattern development, and 3-dimensional object making. 
No previous sewing experience or equipment required, just a willingness to engage, learn and explore.
