Skill Sharing

I love sharing as an artisan & enjoy teaching a broad range of methods. Skill-seekers bring their own knowledge to any workshop & I’m always am the richer for it.

My Main Hive: Works-in-Progress

An amazing collaboration of artisans and makers who divert textiles from the waste stream, skill share, and create beauty from the unappreciated and cast away.

Collaborative Quilt Workshop

Custom Quilt Workshop (Currently on hold)
Piece together memories. This workshop takes you from beginner sewing all the way to finished quilt.
Get together a group of willing hands to create a unique gift for any kind of celebration: birth, birthday, wedding, even a celebration of life.
You learn beginner sewing and strip piecing in the first session, I assemble the layers of the quilt, then we all tie the quilt together in the second session. I encourage everyone to sign the backing to commemorate your creation.

  • 2 sessions, approximately four hours long

  • three sewing machines and other basic tools provided

  • fabric upon request

  • no sewing experience required

  • number of people depends on space (you provide space)

  • the set up of this workshop is flexible: I will do my best to develop sessions to suit your goals
