Workshop: Photograph Your Artwork2019-04-20T10:00:00Do you wonder why the color and brightness of your photographs don’t match your artwork?

Advanced Creative Machine Sewing Class2019-04-25T10:30:00In this class, we will choose a piece of fabric to use as a blank canvas. We will learn tricks and techniques to create a work of art on this canvas, using fabric scraps, threads, yarns, and other textiles, to either create an abstract piece of work, or even a “drawing” with machine sewing. We will then use this piece of fabric/ art to create at least two finished products. Perhaps a throw pillow, a lap blanket, wall hanging, or tote bag.
Kim Mowers is primarily a machine sewist, and has been stitching, designing and sewing professionally for 15 years. She began her career designing and sewing handbags and laptop bags under the business name ZAUM, and has since branched out into multiple other creative lines. The Sewist is her latest venture, in which she offers classes and workshops on all things sewing related, as well as custom home decor projects, private sewing lessons, private sewing parties, and sewing refreshers.

Another key element is the special guests, from year to year a shifting and diverse assortment of well-known Boston area musicians, both sitting in and Millard backing them on their own material, some of it rehearsed, some of it spontaneous, all of it unexpected. It’s music that straddles the line between loose and tight, traditional and modern, original songs and re-imagined covers, the familiar and the unknown. Would you want it any other way?
