Hungry to learn a few new skills? In this class of sewing and patterning techniques, students will learn how to navigate the various dimensions of soft sculpture, using food as inspiration! Students will apply techniques learned over three weeks to design and sew a snackable object of their choice in three stages: (1) flat, (2) filled, and (3) completely three-dimensional.We’ll start by reviewing basic machine sewing techniques, then we’ll learn how to turn sketches into basic pattern pieces.This course is a great introduction for beginners and will provide intermediate students with fresh approaches for patternmaking and soft sculpture.12 - 6 pm (including a break) On Saturdays October 12, 19th, and 26thBring your own sewing machine! We have 2 available to rent if you do not have your own. If you wish to rent a machine, please purchase the rental ticket along with your admission.
