Fabric Collage Workshop!
Jan. 31, 2026
Fabric Collage Workshop
HOPE
This workshop will be the first in the Arts and Spirituality series and will be based on the theme of HOPE with facilitators Nelusha McDonald and Brenda Riley.
Tap into the whimsy of fabric collage in this day long creative play date where you will design your own textile art scroll as it represents your vision of HOPE. We will play with fabric, lace, fanciful charms, buttons and other such notions in an inspiring environment with your creative muse. You will be shown you how to bend the rules of tradition art as we compose a textile story with fabric bits, lace cuts, loose threads, raw edges, and unexpected findings. We will be hand stitching throughout the project but if you have a sewing machine you wish to use in making your collage, feel free to bring it along. So, gather your creative spirit and love for fabric and stitch and prepare to be inspired as we embrace HOPE through art.
