Hand to Thread: Improvisational Patchwork & Embroidery Hand to Thread: Improvisational Patchwork & Embroidery Instructor: Melissa Leandro Email: [email protected] Class Overview: This class will expand students’ knowledge of traditional and contemporary modes of manipulating and embellishing fibrous textile materials. Through daily classroom demonstrations and assignments, students will gain historical and technical instruction in a variety of needlework practices, hand and machine quilting, embroidery, beading, and shibori fabric resist dyeing methods. We will construct and deconstruct found and sourced textiles through trapunto, appliqué, reverser applique, visible mending and patchwork techniques, with a keen focus on practices of collage, fabric/scrap collecting, surface embellishment, and improvisational piecework. Students will be encouraged to pursue their conceptual concerns with the community support of their peers and faculty in group critiques and on-on-one advising. Expectations: 1. Technical or Machine demonstrations will take place at the beginning of class or immediately following lunch break. Typical day will be divided by demonstration/s and then dedicated independent studio time or one-on-one-meetings. You will be notified in advance if any specific supplies are needed for class demos. Please come prepared with Required Supplies (see below for list) to ensure productivity during class time. 2. Active participation is key. Student must be present, attentive and contribute in all course activities. Missing a Studio Day or arriving late on said day, will result in automatic no credit. 3. Submission of all in class samplers and final Project. All samplers and final project must be submitted on time, on scheduled Critique day. Project will be evaluated on student’s ability to fulfill the following goals: strong presentation of concept and composition, quality of craft and technical risk taking, and ability to follow through with proposed or sketched work proposal. This is a credit/non-credit course. 4. Studio Maintenance. Each student is expected to clean up their work area at the end of each class session. Lab facilities and lab equipment must be treated with care and left in good or better condition than how they were found. If you experience any issues with a tool or resource PLEASE COME AND ASK FOR HELP. My goal for you is to learn how to successfully work in a community with shared labs and resources. Required Supplies: Please!! Come to class prepared!! Scissors (for fabric) Please label with Name so they do not get lost Plastic embroidery hoop 6-8 inches DMC Pack of 16 embroidery needles, size 3/9 Sketchbook (Every day) Reusable Rubber gloves (elbow length kitchen gloves) Long apron (preferably waterproof) for fabric dying Purchase minimum of 8 yards of decorative or colored fabrics, 35-45” width, cotton.

There may also be instances where you want to experiment with varied materials/textures, so be open to bringing in or collecting materials during the course to have accessible. Project 1: Sampler Portfolio Through daily demonstrations in multiple sewing/textile techniques, students will build a collection of material samplers that demonstrate their knowledge of each technical process. Consider this collection a valuable tool and database when researching future projects, or using this portfolio as a professional teaching asset. It is recommended to label all samples with proper terminology for future research. Techniques to be covered: mola appliqué, reverse appliqué, trapunto, embroidery, beading, shibori, etc. Collaged Surface: Quilted Form Utilizing the techniques, we have learned thus far, quilting, applique, hand embroidery, beading, mending strategies, alternative fabric types, consider a way of thinking through the act of repetitive and layered making. How can we use our hands to create a collaged surface that reflects or questions our perceptions of personal histories, our understanding of landscapes, architecture, pattern? Consider the Slow and Fast paced actions of our hands, when working with a sewing machine or hand embroidering small stitches; these movements naturally build up, bind, mend, or hide elements of a pattern and material. Create a collaged image that transforms found or sourced fabric into a finished quilt form. Consider elements of abstraction, composition and color as ways to generate image.

  • Panama & Colombia
    PANAMA & COLOMBIA EXPLORING THE CARIBBEAN COAST A UNIQUELY IN-DEPTH CANAL TRANSIT EXPERIENCE TWO OF THE MOST BIODIVERSE COUNTRIES ON EARTH REWARDING ENCOUNTERS WITH THE PEOPLE OF PARADISE 2021-2022 | EXPEDITIONS.COM Cover: Young mantled howler monkey. © Shutterstock. Above: Guna Yala sunset. © Kike Calvo DEAR TRAVELER, Since the inception of Lindblad Expeditions, we’ve sailed our ships through the Panama Canal and along the region’s wild coast. I’ve always yearned to go even further. Now, thanks to our expanding fleet, we’re able to explore more of this rewarding region, and we have the perfect ship–the 50-cabin National Geographic Quest. The first time we sailed National Geographic Quest through the Panama Canal, our expedition leader gleefully reported back that the top deck of National Geographic Quest turns out to be the perfect height to observe the lock mechanisms at eye level. In fact, the ship gets so close to the locks that we can hear the workers casually chatting back and forth as they lead us through. Compare this to the way most travelers will experience the Canal—enclosed inside a cruise ship, passing binoculars back and forth to get a glimpse of how these historic locks work. Our transit of the Panama Canal is compelling for other reasons, as well. We make the transit over two days, so you can see the inner workings of the locks by day, and dramatically lit at night—enabling you to stand on deck and experience the canal on a tropical evening. It also leaves us time to experience the wildness of the Canal Zone—a surprise to many travelers.
