Join Erick Wolfmeyer

Erick Wolfmeyer

for a quilt design class at Home Ec Workshop.  Together we’ll explore working from a basic block idea, then making that block your own either through color choices and/or design modifications.  There are no expectations of finished projects, rather this class is meant to provide a healthy start to a project of your own design, increasing comfort levels with breaking away from patterns and making meaningful color choices.  Selection from Home Ec.’s marvelous array of fabric is encouraged, but also feel free to bring a variety of small cuts of fabric from your home stash as well.  This is about play and exploration to see where it leads you. Space is very limited so sign up early!

In this class each child will make their own doll that looks just like them!  Then each child will make 2 skirts, one for them and one for their new doll.  We will use the sewing machines, hand stitching, buttons, recycled and vintage materials in this class.  If skirts aren’t your thing, we can make matching vests. Once we finish your skirts and doll the rest of the summer can be spent making tiny doll accessories!
