September 19 Karen Lukacs of Karen Lukacs Studio Tucson, AZ

We are excited to bring back Karen for a presentation and workshop on her newest
class offering. Karen is well known for her approach to slow fashion utilizing reclaimed
fabric and trims from items “enroute to the landfill”. She has developed new patterning
and approaches to creating an adorable bag from men’s ties.

Tentative dates for Karen’s visit are still in the works. As of right now, September 19 thru 21, 2024 Karen’s presentation will include her newest works and her bag making process.

Thursday, September 19th The workshop will start after the Guild meeting at the Sedona Art Center from 12 until 3 or 4. Participants will bring their menswear ties or other suitable remnants and/or yardage, lining and interfacing, sewing machine, thread and other notions for an afternoon of designing their main fabric choices. There will be extra fabrics, ties, interfacing, and notions to share.
