Alchemy Art Center: Trash Quilting (2 Session Class)

This is a 2-Day Class

Trash quilting is a great way to give materials that usually end up in the landfill a new life. Quilts can be decorational, or be made into bags, computer cases, wallets, or pretty much anything else you can think of! We’ll do a couple demos, then spend the majority of our time together working on our quilts. We’ll also look at some artists who use trash in weird and fun ways in their practices. Please collect and bring some trash to work with! Some great materials to work with are…

  • Chip bags / wrappers
  • Cartons / aseptic containers
  • Clear plastic (we can put fun things inside of it)
  • Multiples → If you’re interested in quilting traditional quilt block patterns, bringing multiples of the same trash material is ideal!

This class is taught by visiting artist Evie Hidysmith. Evie has developed this class based on her art practice - this is the only time she will be teaching this here at Alchemy, so if you are interested, be sure to sign up!

This class is held in the print shop on the AAC campus. Directions and parking information will be included in your confirmation email.

Dates: Monday 7/7 and Tuesday 7/8 from 5:30-8:30pm.

Registration: Please register early if you are able, as it helps us to assure that classes meet their minimums in order to run! If you register more than three weeks before this class begins, a 20% early bird discount will automatically be applied to your ticket at checkout.

r to keep our classes accessible to as many community members as possible. There are three price tiers. Sustaining tickets helps us continue to invest in programming. Full-price tickets cover the costs associated with running classes. Accessibility tickets are priced below what it costs for us to run a class. If the cost of a full-price ticket is a hardship, we encourage you to purchase a sliding-scale ticket. If you can pay the full price or sustaining price, please choose that option so we can keep providing arts programming to the community.

Tuition Assistance: Tuition assistance is available for Alchemy classes and workshops if finances are a barrier. Apply for tuition assistance here.
