Workshops Now is the time to sign up! NEW - now you can pay for your workshops using your credit card.  Workshops are a favorite perk of EBHQ. You will meet a world-class fabrics/design teacher in a small group setting (no more than 24 people). The workshop space at 980 Stannage is airy and bright. Exposure to new techniques will inspire you and you will go home energized from the creative and social workout. Need to do some shopping for supplies for a class? Check with one of our retail affiliates to see if they have what you need. The yearly membership dues our affiliates pay help to support our guild and the good work we do. June, 2018 Note: You cannot sign up for the June workshops online. Just send an email to ebhqprograms@gmail.com to request a spot. We are looking for 10 EBHQ members to work one-one-one, mentoring a local high school student for the day to make a block or mini quilt, helping each student realize their design. We’d like you to bring your sewing machines and some thread that the students may use under your supervision. Be advised that their work generally focuses on political issues they are facing in today’s complex world and may be controversial.  We are also looking for donations of fabric—primarily solid or tone-on-tones such as batik or other tightly woven fabric that doesn’t fray too much for raw edge appliqué. There is no workshop fee and we’ll provide pizza, salad & beverages for lunch. From the Social Justice Sewing Academy (SJSA) website: Founded in 2016, the Social Justice Sewing Academy is an art program that bridges artistic expression with activism. By using textile art as a vehicle for personal transformation and community cohesion SJSA empowers youth to become agents of social change. We bring together artist-mentors, youth, and community members to learn and create through community centered projects. Using art as an organized methodology, we promote a model that actively engages in conversations with our surrounding community through the lens of contemporary art. We support youth to become civically engaged artists as they are challenged to tackle current social issues in their community that directly affect their lives.   Monday, June 25 - Workday for Stitchin’ For Kids (http://www.stitchinforkids.org/home.html) You’ll have your choice of making stuffed toys, doll quilts, roll-up toy car race tracks, car carriers, and doll clothes using patterns from Stitchin’ for Kids and kit fabric or bring your own. There will also be small projects to knit. More information will be provided when you sign up. Bring your sewing machine and preferred sewing & cutting tools and some spare fabric if you have it J.
