Ages: Adults
Cost: $60.00 - Participants will be e-mailed materials list upon registration.
Learn a new technique to add to your art projects!
The silk fusion technique creates a unique felt like fabric when thinly layered, or a papery texture when thickly layered. Luxurious combed silk top is bound together with fabric adhesive using a wet felting method. The end product is waterproof, but not machine washable. The finished piece can be cut with scissors. Cut pieces can be sewn onto art quilts, wall hangings and other sewing craft projects. Thicker paper textures can be used in collages and scrapbooking. It also makes great waterproof book covers. When wet it can be draped over objects and once dry becomes sculptural in form. Once the flat piece is dry you can also paint on it, embroider it or embellish it. The possibilities are endless.

1-DAY WORKSHOP
Time/Date: Saturday, noon-4:00pm, May 6th
Ages: Adults
Cost: $50 plus $55.00 materials fee
Grab a friend and celebrate the Art of Motherhood with a special day out, just for you. Begin with 60 minutes of yoga and meditation with instructor Tracie Revette, followed by craft projects to inspire relaxation, mindfulness, and self-care guided by Monica Cody, owner of Farmstead 1868- a lavender farm in Cazenovia. Visit with old friends and make some new ones while we take a moment to reflect and recharge on the beautiful journey of parenting.
Parenting is hard, lavender helps. Since ancient times, (think Cleopatra and before!) lavender has been used to promote relaxation, improve mood, and promote more restful sleep. It smells good and reminds us to relax and smell the flowers! Light refreshments will be provided. Please bring your own yoga mat, towel, and yoga block if desired, and your sense of humor.
Details:
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS/TEACHERS:
Monica Cody started Farmstead 1868, a lavender farm in Cazenovia, during the Covid Pandemic with the intent of bringing peace and calm in an otherwise chaotic world. As a mother of 5, she has found that when life gets crazy, lavender (and fresh air) helps. She firmly believes that farmers are artists of their craft. They grow something beautiful with their hands", and wants to share the agricultural beauty of their family's dairy and lavender farms. Find out more at www.farmstead1868.com.
Tracie Revette discovered yoga after being in the workforce for several years and dealing with the stresses of work and everyday life. As an avid runner, she found yoga to be a great tool to help give her body a reset and to re-establish a connection with her mind and body to create a sense of peacefulness. She has always had an interest in bringing the sense of peace that yoga provided to others, and when the pandemic hit, she jumped on the opportunity to complete her teacher training. She received her 200hr RYT certification in spring of 2021, and started teaching vinyasa flow style yoga at the local YMCA. She loves bringing the fun and relaxing feeling of yoga to her 4 children and friends, and hopes to share the wonderful mind-body connection and sense of inner peace yoga provides!
