Join me in Los Angeles this October! You can participate in any or all of the workshops – significant discount applies if you take all three.
Friday – Stitched Vessel
3pm-7pm
Aperos and snacks
$150
An evening of conversation and slow stitching. Learn to layer and stitch fabric scraps to form a small vessel. This is an improvisational and meditative process. The technique is simple, flexible and easy to do.
All materials and refreshments provided.
Saturday – The French Circus – Elephant And Cat
10am-5pm
Coffee, lunch and aperos
$300
Join Ann Wood for a day (or two) of stitching and imagination with the french circus as our inspiration.
Saturday”s workshop includes the elephant and cat and all wardrobe pieces. You will receive patterns and instructions for both dolls and our goal will be to complete 1 dressed figure in our day together. Overachievers might complete both.
We’ll be working with antique and vintage textiles, French General prints and solids, my favorite wool stuffing and treasures collected in France: lace, buttons, notions – magic little details to add to your one of a kind piece.
Basic sewing skills are needed, we will be stitching by hand and machine.
All materials will be supplied.
Optional – if there is a fabric you would love to work with feel free to bring it. It’s also helpful to have a disappearing fabric marker.
