Lego Block Printing
Thursday April 9, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm PDT
Rincon
Think outside the box with Lego printmaking - an endlessly reconfigurable way to create art! Whether you want to design something abstract with lines and shapes or bring your favorite animal to life, the magic of printing with Legos is that you can rearrange and reinvent your design as many times as you like.

In this session, you’ll learn how to create and align layered multi-color prints without the need for special tools. We’ll cover how to use a brayer and printmaking inks to achieve professional-looking results, plus how to mix colors and experiment with gradients. You’ll head home with your Legos, a collection of your own prints, and the skills to keep creating long after the workshop ends.

Friday April 10, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm PDT
Rincon
Weave a little magic into your craft! In this beginner friendly workshop, you'll learn traditional broom making techniques to create your own turkey wing whisk broom (or two!) perfect for hearth, home or a touch of Halloween enchantment. Guided by maker Sally Ray of Zombolina's Cabinet of Curiosities, you'll explore broom folklore, work with natural materials, and leave with a one of a kind broom ready to sweep or display, and just the right size to fit in you suitcase. No experience needed, but semi strong hands and wrists recommended. (Legs too, as you'll be utilizing a 'foot brake' to wrap your broom.)

Up your color game! Color Palettes Beyond the Obvious
Saturday April 11, 2026 9:00am - 11:00am PDT
Rincon
Do you always use the same colors in your work? are you quilts/products/artwork nice but basic? Following some of the exercises of my book "Color Curious" (Chronicle Books) I will teach you fun and unique ways to push your color game and discover color combinations you had no idea you'd love. In this workshop we will play with trinkets, we will mix paint and we will leave with a bunch of new color palettes to use in your next creative project. We may have time to make a few quick illustrations with your new palettes or you can do that later.

Pattern Hacking

Do you have a sewing pattern you love making but don't want a wardrobe of identical garments? In this class, we'll discuss how to change the design lines of a pattern by manipulating darts, adding fullness and ruffles, and changing the look of a sleeve, among other design hacks! Please note: this class is about changing the LOOK of a pattern, not the fit.
