OUR SEWING PROGRAMS
STITCHING LIVES TOGETHER
A SEWING COLLECTIVE RESIDENCY PROGRAM (Next Residency Begins in March 2023)
This residency model, develops and improves women’s sewing skills, using mentorship relationships with experienced talents in sewing, dress making, quilting, weaving and textile art. The participants commit to a sewing residency of six to eight months to complete a project using a macro-STEAM template, in shape, form, space, color, culture and texture through each step of the project.
The Residency Sewing Program was funded by an Arts /Cultural Grant from the City of Gresham.
