Stitchery and Alternative Techniques Instruction
Trisha Hassler will be offering several classes this spring 2014 as outlined below and hopes to cross paths with you all soon.
Hope this finds you all well, excited about the year ahead and ready to try something new in the way you work with fiber.
HAND STITCHING
The Hand Stitching Class is always a favorite of mine, I have attached the class handout for a brief summary of what to expect over the 2 days. Please let me know if you have any special requests or questions about this class. I have been working on a thread blending technique that would be fun to share as well.
CREATIVE ATTACHMENTS
Several of you also requested my class on Creative Attachment Techniques for adding additional found object or hand made elements to your work. Here is a handout for that class. This class covers several different techniques you can use with many different materials, not just fabric. You are invited to bring something you are already working on to move it forward. Also great to know about special requests.
Each class will be held at my home studio in NW Portland. There is space for 5 students in each 2 day session. Because of the intimate group, I will address personal areas of interest and have lots of time with each person, so bring something you are working on, have questions about or want to try for the first time. The cost per student per day is $125. Bring your own lunch, or get lunch from close by Whole Foods , Cha Cha Cha, or other. Street parking or mass transit available.
The dates below are for 2 day classes.
Dates:
Feb 22 & 23
Mar 8 & 9
Mar 17 &18 (or 19)

Expressive Stitching
When you work in a way that invites an observer in for a closer look, it requires a slower pace... both for the maker and for the viewer. The intimacy that results is very rewarding for both. You will experiment with time honored hand stitching techniques that will enhance your work. We will explore length, thickness, density, contrast and color by making samples used to construct a small reference book. We will also work as a group on several small collaborative pieces to create a unique
example of hand work.
