Hand embroidery can be a form of active meditation. Though sewing skills are utilitarian in nature, this class will introduce you to stitches and techniques that will deepen your artistic craft within fiber art. Instructor Lillis Taylor will also curate a selection of her favorite tools, supplies, contemporary textile artists, and resources so that you can start to build your own reservoir of knowledge and inspiration. 

You will be guided in the steps needed to create a finished wall-hanging from your explorations. While the class will yield one wall hanging per participant, the primary goal of the instructor is that each individual hone embellishment skills within the community of the class. Though sewing is a personal endeavor, it can be a social one, weaving participants into a tight-knit community.

Studio By The Tracks presents Gentle Things, an exhibition by Artist-in-Residence Leah Hamel. The exhibition invites community members to participate in the creation of the project through papermaking and sculpture making days open to the public. View Leah’s work alongside the community installation at the Project Reception.

"Gentle Things" is a collection inspired by the artists of Studio By The Tracks. During my residency, I collaborated closely with Ruth E. and Jason, whose work helped shape my own. Much of the artwork created at SBTT radiates joy and often reflects the beauty of the natural world. This experience has encouraged me to focus on the simple moments in life, like the vibrant blooms in my garden or the delicate flutter of a butterfly. Each piece serves as a gentle reminder to pause and savor these fleeting joys. In our fast-paced world, I believe we all need these reminders of the gentle things that surround us.
