Never be without fabulous handprinted papers and fabrics for your next project. 

Gelli Art Printing

 I love printing with a Gelli plate to create one of a kind, hand printed papers and fabrics using amazing 
colors, textures, and layers. The process is so much fun, and the results are amazing. There is no way to mess up.
Gelli plate printing is economical and great for beginners. You can make colorful backgrounds, textured pages, multiple layers, basic borders, and masks. Using stencils, found objects, texture tools and stamps, you can create interesting and practical works of art. You can bring out your paints and all of your unused craft tools.
Come join in the fun. For zoom meeting information please  check www.sactextilearts.org 
 

Hand dyed fabric Workshop

Color your cloth and
explore fabulous hand dyed fabrics.
Get Ready For an afternoon of fun.
Love hand-dyed fabric? If you always wanted to create your own textiles but don’t like all the mess, this class is perfect for beginners as well as the experienced. Take your quilting and sewing projects to another level.
This class may take place outside and is limited to six students. Attendees are required to wear dusk masks. You need one anyway for protection from the dye particles. Please wear old clothes and bring an apron and gloves. You can bring whatever fabric you want to dye (fat quarter size) plus ribbons or laces.
Workshop is $60 plus $15 for supplies. Receive a free gift as a thank you.
Attendees will receive fabrics and dye. And take home a stash of beautiful one-of-kind textiles. Only five spots left.

Every handbag is an original design with no copies.  Both hand and machine stitched. The outsides are rich in my choice of color and texture and your choice of style.

The inside linings are made with fun and durable fabrics with a bit of a surprise. Bags may have one or two inside pockets which provide versatility for daily use. You choose your comfortable and sturdy handles or straps.
