Climb Mountains by Roberta A. Inspired by a pop-up book story written by her daughter when she was seven.

This Fall, I had the opportunity to teach two multi-session classes at The Art League School including an updated and expanded version of Connecting to Memories: The Stitched Word. I'm excited to share the inspiring work of students from that class in the next few posts.
FYI: I will be teaching this class again during the Winter 2021 term. For more information and to register go here.
I originally taught this as a three session in-person class a couple of years ago. I could see even then the potential of even a few words to express rich memories and family stories.
This expanded version of the class gave me the opportunity to design a series of new memory challenges using words while at the same time sharing a selection of stitching, applique and dimensional techniques. Students were also given a weekly Journal Exercise as a prompt for their weekly challenge piece.
