Ilze Aviks returns from Durango, Colorado, to teach this two-day exploration of stitching. From poetic calligraphic lines to fields of vivid marks, stitching can be as personal and expressive as your own handwriting.

In this workshop students will use crayon transfer, fabric collage, and simple stitches to create a series of small studies examining the powerful relationship of stitched mark and cloth.

Stitch without hesitation as we explore repetition, layering, density, and attaching as pathways to discovering a new visual language. Each day students will be guided through several exercises to help them focus on exploration and technique. Studies will emphasize intuition and spontaneity.
