Sashiko Embroidery with Mary Baggerman, January 10, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. ETSashiko is a type of hand stitching that originated in Japan. Used for mending and embellishment, it has a rich history of tradition and design. Today, many people are discovering it as part of the visible mending movement. Come and learn the basics of stitching, pattern transfer, tools, and techniques. We will be making several small pieces suitable to be made into coasters, pin cushions, or used as a patch on clothing. Plan to bring: While all materials are provided, sketchbooks and bits of fabric or thread from home are welcome. Location: Please note that this workshop takes place at Ox-Bow House, located at 137 Center Street, Douglas, Michigan 49406.

New Beginnings in Writing with Jack Ridl, February 26, 10 a.m.–1:00 p.m. ETJack believes that making art and writing brings about realizations and valuable experiences that can happen no other way. With decades of experience in “de-threatening” the art-making process this workshop offers that for participants. He hopes that you will leave at home any notions of departing Ox-Bow with something completed; instead, he will encourage you to start many things – written pieces, creative notions, seeds of ideas. He strives to create an instant community where conversation throughout the day is stimulating, a joy, and worthwhile.

Punch Needle with Pattie Reen, March 28, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. ETPunch needle embroidery is an ancient textile art, dating back to early Egyptian and Medieval traditions, now enjoying a modern revival through the resurgence of slow stitching and handwork. In this workshop, students will learn the fundamentals of this satisfying technique—threading the punch needle, creating smooth lines and curves, and building texture with colorful embroidery floss. Working from a small pattern mounted in a lap frame, participants will explore design, rhythm, and the tactile pleasure of textile making. A finishing technique will be demonstrated, and a detailed handout with resources will be provided for those eager to continue at home. Plan to bring: Punch needle and other materials will be provided for use during the workshop; optional frames and tools will be available for purchase at Ox-Bow House. Materials Fee: $30.00
