In this relaxed and creative workshop, Sarah invites students to spend the day exploring English Paper Piecing (EPP)—either learning it for the first time or revisiting the technique from a fresh perspective. With beautiful fabrics and a focus on play and experimentation, students will create their own unique EPP piece.
This workshop includes drafting patterns onto template cardstock, selecting colors to highlight shapes, basting, and joining pieces together. Sarah will also bring a selection of pre-drawn designs to spark ideas and inspiration. To finish the day, she’ll demonstrate techniques for binding or mounting completed work onto a frame.
Rooted in the long tradition of EPP—dating as far back as 1718—this class offers a joyful day of slow stitching, shared stories, and creative exploration.
