Workshops at The Silk Thread
COVID-19 Policies for in studio workshops!
We take the health of ourselves and those around us seriously! We have implemented and follow all CDC recommended guidelines and protocols for our small business! Workshops are purposefully small, with masks required and all sanitation measures taken. Whether the workshop is in our studios or at another location, all safety precautions are in place to protect us all. Our policy is in place for ALL workshops :-)
If you are a group or club and would like a session with just your group, let’s talk! Classes can be ecoprinting on silk, wool, leather or paper, hand painting on silk, indigo dyeing, needle felting on silk, easy dye silk scarves, creating a wallhanging, screen printing on silk, designing with scraps, making pillows and a host of additional DIY fiber (and painting) arts!
Does your group need an escape? I am able to accommodate your group (up to 10) for weekend retreats complete with lodging, meals and instruction for a very affordable rate. See my Nature and Ecoprint Retreats section!
LIVE and ONLINE!
ECOPRINT on Leather in Color and Natural!
Sat and Sun, Sept 26-27, 2020.
10:00 am EST-4:00 pm EST
Yes I am going online! Not only are LIVE classes coming but online workshops created to learn at home!
Because my IN-Studio workshops are 2 days for my Ecoprint on Leather in Color and Natural, I opted to try a two day weekend live workshop determining that it may be easier for all rather than 5 days of morning or evening. I am happy to hear your thoughts!

Private Workshops: Private one on one workshops are available in my studio. Contact me to chat about what you’d like to learn with a 1 or 2 day private session!
Traveling Workshops: If you have a group in your area that would pref+er not to travel and would love to learn a particular technique, then I can come to you!
UNIQUE ECOPRINT RETREATS!
Relax, Renew and Create!
Join me and other Nature minded individuals in a weekend Retreat designed to Renew, Restore, Relax and Create!
Stay in a beautiful lodge situated on 53 acres of natural woodland. Wander the 4 miles of trails through various ecological zones, pause on the many benches and enjoy the quiet, reflective spaces. Enjoy the labyrinth for meditative walking and each evening gather around the fire pit with friends. Collecting our treasures from Nature, we will imprint them on Silk and Paper (Ecoprint) in the beautiful art studio next to the lodge.
I am a certified practitioner of the art of forest relaxation and therapy known as “Shinrin Yoku” (which translates to “Forest Bathing.” ) and in a weekend retreat I would guide you through a morning designed to open your senses to the wonders of Nature around you!
Unlike many ecoprint workshops labeled as intensive, our focus is on “Unplug. Slow down. Connect. Ecoprint.” Every leaf you use, you will know! You will have met the trees that gifted the leaves to you, walked through their environment, felt their presence and allowed yourself a weekend experience immersed fully in the real meaning of being one with Nature!
