Creative Sewing Classes
I offer basic sewing machine and hand sewing instruction in the comfort of your home or space. Curated for every skill level, from beginner to more advanced sewers looking to add more skills and knowledge to their current toolbox. A class that is intended to meet each student at their current skill level and build from there. One-on-one and group instruction starting at $100 per hour.
Open to all age groups. Fill in the gaps of your sewing knowledge.
Get back to that project you’ve had in progress, or start something new!
Examples of where a beginner needs to start:
• Navigating your sewing machine.
• What thread do I use with what needle?
• What foot should I use for this project?
• How do I sew a consistent 1/4” seam?
I also offer intermediate and advanced Art Quilting techniques, art critique and art coaching.
Alberta based textile artist Alison Dean Cowitz has been a creator and maker her entire life. She learned to knit, crochet and hand embroider at her mother and grandmother’s side and other arts and crafts in her youth. This led her to study Visual Communications at the Alberta College of Art and Design, Calgary AB. Following a 20+ year career in graphic design, she turned to quilting, and eventually art quilting, designing and sewing her own patterns. Her award-winning quilts are exhibited throughout Western Canada with the Fiber Art Network and commissioned work resides in private collections in Alberta, British Columbia, and the UK. Alison, in collaboration with two other textile artists, recently launched a new body of work titled Place in Perspective that has been touring in Nova Scotia and Alberta. It just finished a two date showing in Southern Alberta and is heading back to New Brunswick for it’s last showing in fall 2024.
Alison teaches a variety of workshops from fabric dyeing and printing techniques to art quilt techniques, free-motion machine quilting and design. She loves working with students who want to get into art quilting develop their own artistic style. All can be tailored to suit beginners to advanced interests, both in person and virtually.
