OPEN STUDIO!
Join us on the 4th Monday of each month at Art Makers Outpost for a FREE evening of fiber activities. For April, we will be focusing on how to re-purpose textiles we no longer use. Did you know that textile waste is one of the largest contributors to environmental waste? Let's keep your old textiles out of the landfill. Bring some of your worn out towels, sheets, clothing and let's see how we can transform them into something useable! Join our mailing list for monthly reminders. Please RSVP here.

NATURAL DYEING & BOTANICAL APPLIQUE
We are so excited to be developing a new collaboration with The Roof Crop in Chicago! We are offering two workshops and participants can sign up for just one or both! Focusing on environmentally sustainable practices, we will be exploring natural dyeing using both locally sourced materials and natural dye extracts. Participants will be provided with a selection of materials that we will dye in the first workshop and sew into a botanically inspired composition in the second workshop. Go here to register!
