Thursdays, May 7, 14, 21 & Wednesday May 27, 2026 | 5:00 – 7:00 PM

This is a forgiving form of fiber art that incorporates creativity along with basic sewing techniques.
We’ll cover sewing fundamentals such as cutting fabric, sewing straight seams, turning corners, and finishing edges. By the end of the series, you’ll be comfortable using a sewing machine and ready to take on independent projects. You will also have one or more finished art pieces that you can use!
Some sewing machines provided an option to bring your own. Tools and basic materials are provided. No prior sewing experience is required. Class size is limited to allow for plenty of hands-on guidance.

About the Session
Join us at the Red Brick Center for the Arts for fun and social art-making evenings. Whether you have art experience or not, come create during our evening sessions and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or beer.

Linoleum block printing, also known as lino printing or linocut, is a versatile printmaking technique that involves:
Carving images and designs into linoleum blocks.
Inking the carved blocks.
Pressing them onto paper to achieve a printed image.
No two images turn out the same, the only limit is your creativity!
Linocut, also known as lino print, lino printing or linoleum art, is a printmaking technique, in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for a relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show the areas to be printed.
