Endless Horizon: Stitching the Sea & Sky

In this one-day slow stitch workshop, we’ll use the concept of ‘horizon’ as thematic and compositional inspiration for a simple hand-stitched sampler exploring line, texture, and space. We’ll connect breath to the movement of our hands and our awareness of the tide and the ebb and flow of energy all around us. No experience necessary.

Carolyn Hazel Drake is a mostly self-taught artist from a long line of craftswomen. She is a third generation Oregonian, and her aesthetic is grounded in the colors and textures of the Pacific Northwest. Her eye for color, pattern and detail was cultivated early on in her mother’s quilt store, as was her appreciation for handwork and being a part of a creative community. Carolyn has worked with all levels of learners, and her belief in the inherent creative potential of her students guides her approach to teaching. It is a source of great joy for her to see her students experience self-discovery through their own creative process.
