Fri 4/18 Kids Simple Sew Critters 4pm
Friday - April 18 - 4:00-5:30pm
Ages: 8+ (hand sewing needles will be used in this class, so participants should be able to use a sharp object)
Description: For those who love up-cycling scraps but don’t necessarily love sewing, we’ll show you how to create little figures by wrapping scraps tightly with thread in a way that holds things together and creates cute (but messy) little characters. The idea here is that NOTHING is wrong and when you operate from that standpoint, you can just relax and let your creativity flag fly. No need for perfection, hiding seams, cleaning up hanging threads or whatnot. You’ll learn how to attach arms, legs, necks, tails, etc. just by wrapping, and create your own fantastical critter completely unlike anything you’ve seen before. All with only a few stitches here and there to anchor the threads! You’ll most likely finish your project in class, but you’ll have all the skills to finish at home if you find you need more time.
Parent Requirements: Upstairs - drop off & sign in all students; pick up and sign out all students; Parents are free to stay for the class to assist your child; parents will be called to pick up their child immediately if there is an attitude or discipline issue.
Materials Included: Thread, fabrics, trims and all necessary tools and materials
Instructor: Nathan Vincent is a fiber artist who has exhibited his large-scale knit and crocheted sculptures and installations in museums and galleries internationally. He has shown off his artwork on Martha Stewart, in the pages of the New Yorker Magazine, the LA Times, as well as major fiber books and magazines. Nathan has always loved arts and crafts and learned to crochet from his mother when he was a child. He then went on to teach himself knitting, needlepoint, punch needle, needle felting and hand sewing. Nathan loves to teach others and share his passion for turning simple strands of yarn into beautiful works of art.
