AYTH-127 THE LIMITLESS SEWING MACHINE

This class will be centered on the potential of,the sewing machine as a tool to build both surface,and form. Students will experiment with,two-dimensional techniques like collage, drawing,,and quilting with non-traditional materials. They,will also learn to build sculptural forms using,basic pattern design, from fashion design and hot,air balloon design, to more complex constructions,that employ rigid materials and internal,frameworks. Students will then create a final,piece that combines both surface and form on the,sewing machine. Students should plan to bring,their own sewing machine if able.
