ArtEscape Weekend- All Tied Up!

Recycled Necktie
Artascope was up to our necks in ties a few weekends ago. Diane Brakeley taught her Recycled Necktie ArtEscape Weekend to a very excited group of students. Each student learned how to weave a chair seat, make headbands and even skirts with a collection of some pretty cool silk neckties.

Everyone had a blast working on their chairs! A balance of simple sewing, good color palettes mixes and a few tricks up their sleeves...their chairs were phenomenal! Talk about a weekend to remember. Check out the great photos we took over the weekend.

Think you would like to try out one of our fabulous weekends? What are you doing November 21-23rd? Here's our offerings for you! Rug Hooking with Special Guest Teacher: Kim Dubay
Just like knitting, rug hooking is back! In this class you’ll learn the basics of how to hook rugs. Students will be encouraged to start with a smaller project; a pillow, wall hanging or purse, and will use this project to learn the process from start to finish. Students will also be taught edge binding techniques and how to properly care for your finished piece.
