Summer Sewcial Series - a Victoria BC based week long textile + wearable art workshop series for young aspiring sewists and emerging creatives, facilitated by multidisciplinary artist and designer Sara Gold. This creative workshop series for youth ages 10+ is located at the Goward House Community Centre with a Saturday afternoon finale exhibition showcasing the wearable art created by the youth cohort at Xchanges Art Gallery in downtown Victoria BC.

Learn how to thread and operate a sewing machine, bring your own or use the ones provided. Choose from the provided fabrics, vintage clothing and unconventional materials or bring your own to alter, upcycle and form into a work of wearable art. Design your creation with one-on-one guidance on how to realize your vision.

Together we will move through the alternative dyestuffs methods of cyanotype sun-printing to collaboratively create a banner for the classroom and eco printing with flowers onto a canvas tote bag that you will cut, press, pin and sew together yourself.

Choose an artist name for yourself, a title for your project and explore how to conceptualize and write an artist statement. Learn how to make your own custom appliqués or patches, create a custom body form to your own measurements to develop your project with and grow skills around how to thread a needle, different hand stitches, machine threading and operation, effective seam ripping and deconstructing and reconstruction of garments, ironing vs. pinning, hemming, installing a zipper and making informed decisions on fabric and materials choices.

A finale art exhibition will take place on Saturday the 18th at the Xchanges Art Gallery for the cohort to show off and talk about their creations. Walking or displaying their final works of wearable art with artist statements on vision, direction and materials choices on display for the cohort and their guests to experience.

The classroom at Goward House is located on the ground floor of the facility and is accessible by ramp with large double doors for entry. A limited number of reduced rate tickets are available to BIPOC, Queer and Trans youth and can be accessed by contacting the facilitator Sara Gold directly at [email protected]
