No-Sew Art of Fabric Inlay

$30.00

Thursday, September 17: 6:00pm – 8:00pm

Description: Explore the art of inlayed patterned collage in this playful, no-sew workshop inspired by the Japanese technique of Kimekomi. You’ll begin with a design template adhered to a foam base. Using a craft knife, you’ll carefully cut along the pattern lines to create shallow channels in the foam. Then, you’ll tuck fabric scraps into the cuts — no sewing or glue required — to build a crisp, colorful inlaid design. This process is a satisfying way to build hands-on skills in template-based layout, craft knife control, and working with textiles in a dimensional format. The results are bold, textured, and full of personality — whether you’re new to crafting or an experienced maker looking to try something different. Students develop skills in: 1) Transferring and working with printed patterns; 2) Using a craft knife for controlled line cutting; 3) Creating clean inlay channels in foam; 4) Selecting and positioning fabric for visual impact. No sewing required. Ideal for curious beginners and experienced crafters alike
