In this 2-day workshop we’ll make a small (9″ x 6″) decorative wall hanging, celebrating something or someone that is iconic to us. We’ll start by carving an image into a linoleum block, then hand-print it onto fabric. Using a template, we’ll cut the fabric into a decorative shape, sewing the edges with fringe and trim. Students will take home a decorative wall hanging of their own design, as well as extra prints on fabric.

In this class we will explore the expressive potential of clay by focusing on the human figure and face. Participants will coil-build a small bust conveying an emotion of your choice, using clay as a means of self-expression and storytelling. Through hands-on guidance you will learn techniques for capturing likeness and feeling in your sculptures. This workshop is designed for all skill levels and will give you a chance to experiment, make mistakes, and explore your creative instincts in a supportive environment. Together we will delve into the nuances of facial expression and form, helping you develop your skills and deepen your connection with the material.

LIVE MUSIC BY BRYAN JOHN APPLEBY

FREE AND OPEN TO ALL! 7PM | JANUARY 25TH, 2025

Bryan John Appleby is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Seattle. His folk-centric body of work draws elements from  mid-century pop, wall-of-sound, psychodelia, tropicália, and classic  cinema. 

His latest full-length, Underwater Easy Breathing (Plume Records) exemplifies Appleby’s distinct production palette. Lush, coastal,  synth-laced; the album is a natural next step in his wandering, often  densely layered folk repertoire. Previous works include The Narrow  Valley (2015), a dense, maximalist concept album drenched in  dreamy, orchestral layers and experimental sounds, and Fire on the  Vine (2011), a darker collection with more conventional folk structures  and instrumentation. 

Since moving to the Pacific Northwest from the Central Coast, he’s  toured with Deep Sea Diver, The Head and the Heart, and Tomo Nakayama, and shared stages with Damien Jurado, Maita, Y La  Bamba, Shaina Shepherd, Dean Johnson, Sera Cahoone, Pure Bathing  Culture, and many others. He enjoys guest membership in several  West Coast bands including Gary V, Tomten, Fine Arts, Vinta, and K  Skelton.
