We offer sewing classes for youth and adults through School for the Arts. Current class offerings include:

Intro to Sewing - Fabric Bookmarks. Ages 8+. Cost: $55

This class is designed for the true beginner. We will start by taking a tour of a sewing machine; looking at its functions and features, winding and loading a bobbin, threading the machine, replacing a needle, changing the presser foot, care and maintenance, and how to operate safely.
