Zoom Workshop – Reverse Applique with Celeste Compion
Learn needle turn reverse appliqué using your choice of modern or traditional patterns, with a view to attempting more complex patterns like those in “Dutch Treat” by Judy Garden, the inspiration for this class, and which Celeste has made as seen below.
The workshop is suitable for all levels, including beginners, and will take place on Zoom from the comfort of your own home.
THE ZOOM LINK WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU ONE WEEK BEFORE THE EVENT.
Your teacher, Celeste Compion, was born in South Africa into a family of creative makers, stitchers and knitters. In 2001 she moved to Canada with her family, and founded Meerkat Shweshwe – an online and in-person business where you can learn about and buy the traditional South African shweshwe fabric. She recently retired the store side of business but continues to enthusiastically teach and lecture around the world.
EVERY ATTENDEE will need to additionally buy a $15 (Canadian dollars – roughly USD $11) pattern from Celeste – details are provided in the confirmation email. However, she also has a free gift for you – a free thread catcher pattern!
Ticket Pricing
This is our first workshop to introduce equity pricing – intended to allow all members, including those on the tightest budgets, to benefit from the Guild’s Workshop Program. (Only you and the Organizers will know which ticket type you have bought).
Standard: This is the base price for the workshop. If you don’t have any financial hardship, we encourage you to support the workshop with this price. (e.g. you can go to a fabric shop on a whim and buy a few yards without needing to check your bank balance, but might have to save for a new machine)
Equity: Consider paying this amount if the Standard price of the workshop would create a financial burden. (e.g. you need to pause and check your budget before buying a fat quarter of fabric.)
Pay It Forward: Consider paying this amount if you are able to contribute to ensuring that all those who want to attend our events can. (e.g. you are able to buy new fabrics and tools as you wish without needing to check your budget)
Members can sign up here. The member cost is $19-$59.
Non-members will be able to buy any remaining tickets from October 27th. Non-Member tickets will be sold at the Pay-It-Forward price $59, although we do encourage you to sign up for membership! It is currently only $45/year!
This workshop is a 3 hours zoom event.
