If you’re new to Jesmonite\, it’s a durable\, lightweight casting material used for everything from home decor to jewelry and sculpture. It’s similar to concrete\, plaster\, or resin\, but benefits over these materials in that it has a short curing time\, takes on bright colors with only a small amount of pigment\, and is water-based\, solvent-free\, and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)\, making it safer to work with and no toxic fumes! And it’s a lot of fun to use! \nIn this beginner casting workshop\, you’ll learn to mix\, pour\, and customize Jesmonite to create two houseware objects of your choice\, such as trays\, coasters\, planters\, or dishes\, using professional silicone molds. You’ll explore how to incorporate pigments and terrazzo-style chips for different surface effects\, work in two pouring rounds\, and\, once your pieces have hardened\, de-mold and sand them for a finished look. We’ll also cover sourcing tips\, including where to buy Jesmonite\, molds\, pigments\, and tools. Each student will leave with two finished Jesmonite pieces\, as well as the know-how to keep making more! \nSupplies Needed: None. All tools and supplies will be provided. Make sure to wear something that you don’t mind getting a little messy in. We will also have aprons to protect your clothing. Also\, we suggest that you bring a tote or bag to carry home you items\, but that’s completely optional. \nInstructor Bio: Stella Hoffman is from the UK and currently resides in the Castro Valley. She has been working with Jesmonite for the past five years\, designing an array of small to medium-sized home goods. Drawn to its eco-friendliness and incredible potential to create vibrant and beautiful pieces\, Stella now focuses exclusively on Jesmonite as her go-to design material for her creative work. She can’t wait to share her expertise and watch you also discover the joy of creating with Jesmonite!

Existing somewhere between rug hooking and embroidery\, punch needle involves punching a needle through fabric in a repetitive motion to create amazing designs with loops of yarn. It’s a fun and relaxing craft that can be turned into wall art\, cushions\, pillows\, rugs\, patches\, purses… just about anything made with a textile! And with a great set of tools\, even first timers will walk away with the confidence to continue and experiment on their own! In this class\, you will start work on one punch needle project\, including material selection\, frame set-up\, working with stencils to create your own design\, punch needle techniques\, and options for finishing your piece! \n\n\n\nSupplies Needed: None. As part of this class\, each student will receive a full punch needle kit that includes a reusable punch needle frame\, monks cloth\, yarn\, and an Oxford Punch Needle (the best out there…these are $35 retail) to take home. \n\nInstructor Bio: Becca Schillinger earned her BFA in drawing and painting from CCAC here in San Francisco\, and was trained by drag queens in NYC on how to paint a fashion-week worthy face.

Sashiko\, which translates to “little stabs”\, traditionally uses white cotton thread on dark blue indigo-dyed fabric. A single running stitch is used to create lovely geometric patterns that can be used to decorate fabric or reinforce ripped denim\, sewn by hand. You will learn how to properly execute this running stitch\, and transfer geometric designs onto indigo-dyed linen. Our instructor will guide you in the creation of your own sashiko design sampler. Once everyone has the technique down\, you will learn how to apply this sashiko technique to your ripped jeans in order to repair and reinforce areas where the denim has torn or frayed. \n\n\n\nSupplies Needed: None! All fabric\, thread\, and sashiko needles are provided for you to keep. For extra credit\, we strongly encourage you to bring a pair of ripped jeans to repair! \n \nInstructor Bio: Fueled by a long time desire to avoid jeans shopping at any cost\, WorkshopSF sewing instructor and DIY Jack of All Trades Hayley learned the art of sashiko in order to keep her jeans in rotation for what some have called “too long”.

If you’re new to Jesmonite\, it’s a durable\, lightweight casting material used for everything from home decor to jewelry and sculpture. It’s similar to concrete\, plaster\, or resin\, but benefits over these materials in that it has a short curing time\, takes on bright colors with only a small amount of pigment\, and is water-based\, solvent-free\, and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)\, making it safer to work with and no toxic fumes! And it’s a lot of fun to use! \nIn this beginner casting workshop\, you’ll learn to mix\, pour\, and customize Jesmonite to create two houseware objects of your choice\, such as trays\, coasters\, planters\, or dishes\, using professional silicone molds. You’ll explore how to incorporate pigments and terrazzo-style chips for different surface effects\, work in two pouring rounds\, and\, once your pieces have hardened\, de-mold and sand them for a finished look. We’ll also cover sourcing tips\, including where to buy Jesmonite\, molds\, pigments\, and tools. Each student will leave with two finished Jesmonite pieces\, as well as the know-how to keep making more! \nSupplies Needed: None. All tools and supplies will be provided. Make sure to wear something that you don’t mind getting a little messy in. We will also have aprons to protect your clothing. Also\, we suggest that you bring a tote or bag to carry home you items\, but that’s completely optional. \nInstructor Bio: Stella Hoffman is from the UK and currently resides in the Castro Valley. She has been working with Jesmonite for the past five years\, designing an array of small to medium-sized home goods. Drawn to its eco-friendliness and incredible potential to create vibrant and beautiful pieces\, Stella now focuses exclusively on Jesmonite as her go-to design material for her creative work. She can’t wait to share her expertise and watch you also discover the joy of creating with Jesmonite!
