Quilt the Harvest

August 18, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

Our studio sessions are informal sessions where you can learn and share new skills used to transform flax into linen, design and construct

Join us every other Friday to make our our “Square Yard Quilt”.

This inclusive art and education project is open to all.

Our studio sessions are informal sessions where you can learn and share new skills used to transform flax into linen, design and construct a large textile made of many parts to tell a story.

Together we’ll envision and create the pieces of our “square yard quilt”. An abstract art quilt made up of flax grown here and in Scotland by our collaborators at Journeys in design.

It started with a conversation about square yards and square meters, and it’s growing into an international textiles art collaboration. We’re working with Journeys in Design Scotland, who we connected with in 2021 through their program, Our Linen Stories.

Studio sessions may include weaving, flax processing, spinning, hand sewing, and natural dyeing. Come as many times as you like.

Your fees help us pay for studio space and materials. Please contribute as generously as you are able.
