Shibori Burst Eco-Print with Kristin Field

We first introduced you to Kristin Field of Field & Gardner  and her incredible work through our social media series Takeover Tuesday. You loved her intricate Eco-printed Shibori circles so much that we decided to offer a workshop with her this fall! Join us for an online workshop where you can watch her demonstrate the techniques that she uses to create unique and beautiful eco-printed shibori.

Join Kristin  for a one-day online workshop where you will learn to design, stitch, cap, indigo dye, and eco-print with pressed coreopsis flowers to create unique shibori burst designs. Kristin began making these indigo & coreopsis designs in 2021, and this is the first time she will be sharing her techniques in a workshop! 

Sara Buscaglia Of Farm & Folk Teaches Applique Dream Quilts

Botanical Colors Seattle 503 S Michigan St, Ste B, Seattle, WA, United States

Sara Buscaglia of wildly popular Farm & Folk has captured our imagination with her beautifully designed quilts and color work using natural dyes that she grows on her farm in Durango, Colorado. Each piece tells a story about her commitment to farming, land stewardship, and the joy and dignity of hand work. We are so pleased to have her return and teach a 5-day quilting workshop in Seattle with us in February 2025! This year’s focus will be on applique to create a quilt approximately 30×30 inches. Applique is a needlework technique where fabric and motifs are stitched onto whole or pieced cloth, allowing the quilter to create beautiful, free and figurative designs on the quilt. Each participant will work with a palette of naturally dyed color created especially for this workshop. Sara will demonstrate several applique methods, guide color choices and motifs. Join us for a wonderful 5-day creative studio session dyeing fabrics, designing colorways and making hand-stitched quilts!
