Tired of working alone in your home studio? Longing to ditch social distancing and create with a crew? Get social right from the comfort of your own home as you work on your own projects, share ideas, chat, and stitch alongside other makers in this casual and creative virtual environment.

Sew, quilt, crochet, knit, embroider, and more — open to all fiber/textile mediums!

Stitching Social is a creative gathering, not a teacher-led instructional class. Let’s connect with other makers and build a virtual needlecraft community!

Tuition is free, though you may also choose to make a $5 donation.

Materials

Students may use their own materials for whichever project they are working on independently.

Online Classes at IS183

Register for a class (or series) on our website, and we will email you a Zoom meeting link along with instructions. Simply use the link to join the online class at the designated time! Download the Zoom app on your smartphone or tablet, or use your laptop/desktop web browser. The web browser client will download automatically when you join your first Zoom meeting. (Have a look at this Zoom overview.)

You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique! 

Thank you for continuing to make art and support IS183 Art School! We look forward to seeing you in the (virtual) studios!
