Are you interested in hosting a workshop? If
you have a fabric store with the room and machines to host a workshop, or you
just want to get a group of friends together to host Mary for a weekend
workshop - check out the group classes described below! Mary has held a variety
of workshops at Josephine’s Dry Goods in Portland, OR and at The Lower East
Side Girls Club in Manhattan, NYC, accommodating a wide range of ages and
abilities.
Cost per student is based on a
number of factors including the type of workshop you’d like to host, the number
of students participating in the workshop and the location where the workshop
would take place. If Mary would be traveling outside of Manhattan, travel time
and expenses will need to be taken into consideration when calculating the
cost per student.
“My Bag
of Tricks”
This is a hands-on workshop that is focused on learning the creative techniques that Mary developed in her own work throughout her career. Following closely along the lines in her book Mary will demonstrate the techniques she discusses in The Party Dress Book. As a class we will discuss and explore how to put a creative spin on traditional sewing techniques and then apply them to our own work: layering color, piecing, bias strips, quilting, pin tucks, ruffles and French seams. These creative techniques make a great addition to your own sewing vocabulary!
