FIG: 15 Years - Workshop Schedule
Linda Litteral - Timelines
Saturday, January 18th, 12pm-2pm
Representing a timeline of your life in color. Using magic markers for your color and setting up a time in your life you would like to understand better, we will begin the process of explaining that time in your life to yourself through imagery and color. It is a subconscious process of healing within. Art has the capacity to heal us in ways we do not understand, by doing, we heal.

Ann Olsen - Slow Stitching
Saturday, February 1st, 1pm-3pm
Please join Ann Olsen for an afternoon of slow stitching. To slow stitch is to take time to mindfully create something new through stitching with needle and thread. It's also a fantastic way to creatively re-use fabric scraps or old clothes to make something new.
No special embroidery skill is required
Using a small piece of cotton batting as your base you will learn how to stich fabric scraps and trims to the base using colorful embroidery threads and simple straight stitches. Your finished slow stitched creation can be used as a patch or as a stand-alone
piece of stitched art.
All materials including needles, scissors, fabric scraps and colorful threads are provided. Or bring scraps of your favorite fabrics, trims or clothes that you would like to patch or embellish.

Part 2: Home (inspired by Womanhouse—a landmark feminist art project)
Make a little cut, folded and assembled paper house. Apply line and color to the interior and exterior. Create emotion, tell a story, draw details, write all over it if you like. Think of the house as a memory, a self portrait, a portal.
