Running Stitch Collage Workshop
w/ Kira Keck and Jane Sasso
Using fundamental hand sewing techniques, we will create layered collages out of fabric scraps, old clothes, and production excess material. This quilting technique, inspired by boro and kantha traditions, can be used to to make pieces of art as well as for mending. We will cover making a dynamic composition, the stitch, and variations. Emphasis is on intuitive choices and slow stitching- something both meditative and practical. Participants will leave with an in-progress piece and materials they can use to continue their explorations.
Audience: All levels welcome, teens and adults
Duration: 2-3 hours
Materials: The Peanut Factory will provide needles, thread, and scissors. Instructors will bring a selection of cloth scraps. Participants are encouraged to bring their own fabric scraps to incorporate.

Paws, Claws, and Creativity Workshop
with Taylor Knight
Learn from sculptor Taylor Knight in a Black Bear‑themed workshop that will encourage you to explore their wildest ideas. Come to The Peanut Factory and make a plaster carving, scratching the surface like a bear scratches a tree, or digging deep like a master sculptor – or anything in between! Take home a ready-to-hang ouvre. Materials and inspiration provided, but you are also welcome to bring your own.
This hands-on session supports The Peanut Factory Inc’s mission to support artists, writers, performers and other creatives by providing time and space to experiment and develop projects and ideas.
Linger afterwards to visit with the artist.
