Fabric Appliqué Workshop

Explore the world of Fabric Appliqué in this beginner textile workshop! Appliqué: The word comes from the Latin applicō ("I apply") and the French appliquer ("attach"). While most commonly practiced with textiles and garments, the term can describe similar decorative application methods in other mediums. You'll learn how to transform fabric scraps into custom shapes, motifs, and images—adding unique details to textiles and clothing. Each student will leave with an appliqué piece to either frame, or sew onto a garment. This workshop is entirely beginner friendly, and includes all materials! Just bring your enthusiasm for textiles, learning & community xx Complimentary bevs provided, and snacks will be available for purchase. See you there!!
