Solvy is a water-soluble fabric stabilizer which can be used to create lace-like fiber structures.
This intensive two-day workshop exploresfree-motion embroidery and layering techniques using Solvy to create beautiful and unique pieces of art. Students begin by experimenting
and creating samples to use as a starting point. Each student will create a project of their own design. Projects could include a three-dimensional embellishment for a garment, a piece of
fiber jewelry or a stand-alone piece of art. Students of all levels interested in broadening their
range of fiber techniques are bound to enjoy learning about the magic of Solvy! Prerequisite:
Basic machine sewing skills. Location: Construction Studio

The quilting stitch not only joins the quilt’s layers, but also provides an opportunity to add design and personal expression to the finished quilt. In this workshop we will learn to generate multiple designs for a whole-cloth quilt top while we explore how hand and machine stitching can support personal mark-making as artistic expression. No prerequisite. Location: Construction Studio
