If you are interested in exploring more ways to manipulate fabric join us for part two of our virtual smocking classes. These smocking variants speak to Coggan’s continuing artistic exploration of the physical changes that textiles can undergo with deep stitching, and the performative potential of a smocked surface at an architectural scale. In this workshop Annie will again discuss the logic and cultural constructs of smocking and impart other smocking techniques that will further your textile practice.
No previous smocking experience necessary. This class is simply an exploration of additional smocking patterns.
