Upcoming Workshops

  • What a Doll!

    With Instructor, Liz Meyer

    Saturday , January 18 from 10 until noon 

    $25 members $35 non-members  


    Winter Fun and Creativity!

    This little button had no idea what it would become….

    One day a lady took a workshop and learned how to create a small doll. She chose these colors as her good friend liked those colors and it was going to be a gift. Sadly, at that workshop there were only a few buttons to choose from.

    Come create one of your own. Any fabric, any beads, any yarn, and most importantly the Button! (Many choices of buttons will be available.) The instructor will have materials available and instructions on sewing the body and stringing the bead arms and legs. If you have a favorite button or a piece of cloth that sings to you, please bring it. The class will be as wild as your own imagination can conjure.

    The size will be determined by the size of cloth you choose.

    We will stuff and hand sew the body. That little one, above is about 5” tall (including “hair”.)

    Please join us at the new “rebirthed” Arrowhead Gallery across the street from our previous location. It is a wonderful spot to enjoy creating and has even more room for workshops!
