Wrap pieces are flattering, adjustable, and fun to sew. Each week, you'll complete a new project while building skills and confidence with pattern reading, sewing techniques, and garment construction.

Each class will include demonstrations, guidance on fitting, and tips for modifying your garment to suit maternity wear, everyday comfort, or personal style. By the end of the series, you’ll have a handmade mini wardrobe you can wear proudly.
Prerequisites: Basic experience with a sewing machine (you should be able to thread your machine and sew straight seams). If you don't know how yet we offer a beginning sewing class. Check our website for our ever changing offerings.
Machines and basic sewing supplies are provided, but feel free to bring your own machine if you'd prefer to work on it. If you have a specific fabric in mind for your garment, you're welcome to bring it—we’ll send fabric suggestions ahead of each class so you can choose materials that suit your style and fit.
Perfect for: Expecting parents, caregivers, creative sewists, and anyone interested in sewing adjustable, beautiful garments.

These are not traditional classes. Our model for our these studio explorations is to “Come bored, leave creative.” If you’ve had a project in mind but need more space, or want to try a supply before investing heavily in it at home, these are the studios for you. Bring your friends and create fun projects together. Come alone and work in the quiet of one of smaller studio spaces. Our studio coordinator will be on hand to help you find supplies and gather feedback on supplies we may not have yet.

OCTOBER
Tuesdays & Thursdays: Join guest artist Amber Word and dive into the playful world of fluid art in this four-week series.
Each class explores a different medium - watercolors, alcohol inks, and dyes - and how each one flows, layers, and surprises us on paper. You’ll discover soft watercolor washes, bold alcohol ink blooms, and luminous dye transparencies, all in a relaxed, beginner-friendly environment. And here’s the best part: there are no mistakes. If you don’t love your whole painting, you’ll learn how to crop out your favorite parts and transform them into giftable treasures like cards, bookmarks, magnets, jewelry, or ornaments. Come for one class or join them all - every session is designed to stand on its own while adding to a month of colorful exploration.
Beginning October 21:
Join award-winning miniature figurine painter Dharam Khalsa every other Tuesday for office hours beginning Oct 21. (Don’t miss out on our next intro class on the 18th!) For these biweekly office hours you can:
