STILL Available SHARED studio space.
Available now (3/16/25) — one small, shared space. This space is part of a larger studio, shared with two other artists.
Size of the available share is about 10 x 10 feet — this studio share is completely open and only divided loosely by 4 x 8 ft panels.
You would be sharing the space with a painter and designer who are both relatively quiet (and occasionally take work/client calls and meetings). In order to be a good fit for the space, you would need to work in a medium that is fume-free, appropriate for the size, quiet and keep relatively tidy studio habits conducive to a shared working space.
If interested, please contact Amy. Thank you!

Visible Mending: Patching + Darning with Cal Patch
when
Thursday, April 6 | 6-8pm

Visit mending workshop with Cal Patch will show you 2 different ways to patch a hole in woven garments: Overlay and Reverse Appliqué, various stitches that work for each method, and when to use them. Then we will mend a hole in a knitted garment with traditional darning. Whether you try to do it invisibly or artfully, you’ll extend the life of your favorite woolies by knowing how to darn them. Traditional darning works well for smaller holes or areas that are worn thin. You might have so much fun, you'll actually be happy to see a new hole in your most-loved and worn garments!

April 7th: Make a Boxy Tee/Tunic hosted by Katherine Ferrier
what
Make a Self-Drafted Boxy Tee/Drapey Tunic with Cal Patch
when
Friday, April 7 | 10am-5pm
details & registration
In this workshop, we’ll begin by drafting the basic pattern to your measurements, then cut + sew a quick muslin (fit sample) to check fit, and tweak the pattern if necessary. Next you’ll either continue by turning your sample into a *wearable muslin*, or cut a new one, perhaps adding extra seams or pockets. Beginner stitchers will keep it fairly simple, and those with more advanced skills can customize to their hearts’ content. Everyone will leave with a garment that reflects their personality and ideas to make endless variations!
Please have at least advanced-beginner sewing skills, with a few simple projects under your belt. You should be comfortable threading and troubleshooting your sewing machine without assistance.
$225 | Advanced-beginner sewing skills.
