Class # 95: Sundays, November 2, 9, & 16, 1:00-4:00pm
Class Cost: $145
Taking the traditional sampler as a point of departure, students will learn how to create a garment or textile that includes language in its embellishment. Samplers were historically a young child's first lesson in literacy. Our dress and domestic surroundings often make a silent statement, incorporating personalized monograms, allegiances, stories and achievement. Think of language broadly, it could be coded, scrambled or straightforward. What meaning is legible to your viewers and what information is kept private?

Class # 96: Wednesdays, November 5, 12, & 19, 6:30-9:30pm
Monotypes are one-of-a-kind prints made by painting with ink on a plate and transferring the image to paper under the pressure of the etching press. Painterly, direct and easy to layer, they offer a great
opportunity to work directly from a complex source image. In this class, we will begin by getting comfortable with the medium, then work with your original photograph or drawing beneath a plexiglass plate, using the image as a guide to create a multi-layered, unique work on paper. There should be plenty of time to make an image with many layers, varied multiples of one monotype, or a series of different images.

In 100 Acts of Sewing, Sonya Philip explores making versus manufacturing. This personal challenge to sew one hundred dresses in a year, also aims to reacquaint people with the skills required to make clothing. Learn to sew your own dress, starting with a simple, sleeveless A-line shift. The neck and armholes are finished with a simple bias tape facing and pockets add flair and utility. In this class students will learn how to cut pattern pieces, finish seams, make bias tape, and top stitch patch pockets. The pattern, in six sizes, will be provided. This is not a beginning sewing class, you will need to have some previous experience using a sewing machine.
