About the Instructor:
Angela Zachary, a third-generation textile hand-crafter with over two decades of teaching experience, finds pure joy in crafting and fostering community. Her passion for creating is fostered out of a love for sustainability, and learning to slow down.
About the designer:
Rebecca Ringquist is a Portland-based visual artist and designer. Her stitched drawings on fabric explore issues of identity through thinly veiled metaphors utilizing old fashioned imagery and double entendres. She learned how to embroider in college in a feminist art history class, and has been inspired by the history of American needlework ever since. Approaching the technique of embroidery as a way of drawing, Ringquist has taught hundreds of people new ways of making marks on fabric through classes and workshops around the country.
