An evening of learning and brushing up on your sewing skills
in a fun supportive environment.
Join Kristi Holohan from Pattagansett Art Center for a fun sewing workshop. Learn the basics of your home sewing machine that you bring in, or use one of our partner SPARK Makerspace’s machines. This class is aimed towards beginners and intermediates.
You can bring a project that you want help with or Kristi will have patterns set up for simple projects that can be completed in the 2 hour session. Learn about fabrics, use different sewing machines and make space for your creativity. You can use our fabric and supplies or bring something that inspires you. Join one session or the whole series to strengthen your knowledge.
Libations are available to purchase from the host sponsor Garde Arts Center bar.
