Description: Hand Sewn Intuitive Scrap Art Dolls
Description: Hand sewn intuitive scrap art dolls have been made for centuries, from folk art traditions to those made for the collection of Queen Mary and everything in between. This class is a beginner course for making intuitive art dolls from scraps. Given Remainder's dedication to creative reuse, you'll use fabric scraps to build your doll from the inside out. Starting with creating the underlying shapes to covering/attaching fabric remnants, you will be guided through options of creating patchwork, using embroidery stitches to embellish, and creative decision making around how "finished" or raw you want your doll to be. Delightful surprises arise when you react to what is developing in front of you rather than going in with a specific plan - happy accidents are highly encouraged in this class!
Materials Included: Thread, fabrics 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.
Location: All classes take place UPSTAIRS in our CREATIVE SPACE unless otherwise noted. Use the exterior stairs on the side of the building to enter.
Note: LATE ARRIVALS NOT ADMITTED ONCE CLASS HAS BEGUN
