Classes at Sutherland Handweaving Studio www.sutherlandhandweaving.com

 

LAURA FRY will teach a one-day seminar from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday, March 17, 2012, at Sutherland. A Good Yarn is designed to help weavers better control their end results. Laura discusses fiber characteristics, yarn spinning and how weave structure and density affect the finished textile.

This is a tabletop workshop with no loom required. Extensive handouts are provided. Class fee: $120. Materials fee: $10. 20 participant limit.

 

DARYL LANCASTER will teach a five-day workshop, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., May 29-June 2, 2012, at Sutherland. A Wearable Extravaganza: Wrap Your Body in Clothing From Your Own Hands guides students as they construct a basic unlined jacket, from their own fabric, custom fit to themselves, while learning all sorts of inspiring techniques to make their garments reflect their creativity. Even if you’ve taken a similar sewing class with Daryl, this class will move you to your own next level. The materials fee includes an extensive handout…a book actually.   Class fee:  $450. Materials fee: $35.

10 participant limit. Sewing machine required.
