Join artist Angela Zamora in a cornhusk flower arrangement workshop. Participants will create various flowers using folding and tying techniques on naturally dyed corn husks.

As a San Francisco-based interdisciplinary artist, Angela Zamora creates sculptures and films that honor her Mexican-American roots. However, the heart of her practice lies in the belief that art is a communal act. Angela is dedicated to breaking down barriers to the art world by prioritizing accessible hands-on workshops. Whether building with corn husks or facilitating public art experiences, her goal is to create spaces where Latino community members can see themselves reflected and empowered through creativity.

You'll learn many techniques for creating a truly unique and stunning art piece, with multiple layers and textures of fabric. The piece begins with creating a base, then covering it with beautiful overlays of fabric, surrounded by shapes that extend outward, giving the piece added shape, dimension and excitement. The final piece will hang on the wall. No sewing involved, no art experience necessary, and perfect for all levels, from beginning through advanced artists.

Please join us for a day of learning and creating. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of tapestry, using simple frame looms. Tapestry is an ancient, simple technique that inspires contemplation. It can be functional, as in rugs, decorative, or both! Prewarped looms, tools, and tapestry yarns will be provided. You will leave the class with a small loom with your samples on it, plus a handout with resources.

Kathleen Dickey has been a weaver for five decades. She brings her training as a field biologist and love of patterns in nature to her looms. She is also inspired by her dreams, by the work of many people who have gone before, craftspeople, artists, scientists, and by fellow dreamers. Her focus these days is to interpret memories and patterns from the natural world through tapestries.

There is no need to toss textile stuff into the landfill. Using a variety of fabrics, yarns, threads, papers, embellishments (beads, feathers, etc.), and whatever else is at hand, we will create abstract compositions to fit inside Strathmore photo frame cards (5”x7”). They can be used as unique cards for special occasions or inserted into inexpensive frames to become personal gifts of original art.

If you are able to thread a needle and do the simple overcast/whip stitch (neatly or not!), you’re capable of creating a textile tree infused with loving kindness for the recipient. If you’re already a fiber artist, this is a chance to explore a 3-D approach to your materials.

We will create small Korean-style pouches to hang from actual branches. Traditionally, in Korea, while making something for someone you care about, you stitch while holding positive thoughts for that person, whether for a happy marriage, successful career, strong health, and so on. We start with squares of fabric (sagak). There are many options: interior design samples from FabMo, remnants from other projects, Korean ramie, cloth you’ve hand-dyed, felt, organza you’ve painted, even decorative paper. Mix and match colors, patterns, textures or stick to one theme. To close the 4 sides into a dangling pouch, the thread can match or contrast the fabric color. If you like, add beads on the outside and/or a message of good wishes on the inside. In Korea, a larger pouch (jumeoni) might include a gift of money for a child.
