Join 40-year textile professional Kristine Berg, on Saturday September 12 from 1-5pm at the Guild for this 4-hour hands-on workshop and learn the basics of modern smocking and fabric manipulation.  With a ruler, needle, and thread, you will follow measured pathways to transform fabric into sculptural forms that echo landforms, waves, and basketry, all arising from intentional folds and carefully placed stitches.  You will learn how to create a grid, interpret and copy a design pattern, and create a 3d sample. Most participants will complete two different design samples within class time! Kristine will bring examples of her complex-looking Textile Origami technique in a range of fabrics – from linen and cotton to velvet and polyester – to illustrate how results vary across materials, as well as examples demonstrating an array of applications. This workshop is for ages 18+ and all skill levels are welcome--no experience is required other than the ability to thread a sewing needle!
