Translating Text Into Textile

Discover a new way of looking at texts and learn how to express yourself in fabric. Using text and speech as inspiration, students design and create their own fiber art while learning different sewing and quilting methods. In this way, we find the power of turning words into a physical creation which speaks to others. No sewing or quilting experience is necessary.

PrayerTurning the Prayer of Your Heart Into Art

Using a specific prayer or transformative experience as inspiration, design and create your own piece of fiber art. Discover the power art has to express that which words cannot fully articulate and create a piece which conveys what is deep within our souls. No sewing or quilting experience is necessary!
