Learning and experiencing art is what we at Artsworth do. By providing unique workshops to our community members, whether they are children, teenagers, or adults, we are able to open the doors to creativity and show all who wish to learn about the beauty of crafting high quality work with your hands and heart. Workshops are held at 25 Pine Street and range from learning about how to manipulate molten glass to how to solder metal to how to sculpt out of clay or fiber. Our goal is to remain open to suggestions and ideas of how to meet the interests and needs of our community by providing a space for all teachers to share their craft with students of all ages. We hope that if you have a great idea that you wish to share with others, that you will come to Artsworth, share our space and share with us. Below you will find a list of current offerings: check back as our list is always changing! Teach a workshop!

    Learn to LOVE Your Sewing Machine with Patience

    10:00am - 2:00pm25 Pine Street Ellsworth, Maine, 04605
    Do you have a sewing machine lurking in your closet, spare room, garage, or barn that you really really really want to know how to use? Then this class is for you!!!   This class will take you on a tour of your machine, from learning to thread it, adjust tension, change needles, oiling and cleaning, and sew straight and curved lines. You will also learn about the mystery of: seam allowance! (Calling all people with vintage Singers (or any other age or brand!) in their closets! )
    This is a beginner class; no prior knowledge of sewing necessary. Patience Blythe has been sewing since she was about 10 years old. Patience sews and tailors many of her own clothes and makes quilts. She LOVES sewing and wants you to feel successful at it, too.

    Patience is an educator and sewist who lives in Hancock and makes many of her own clothes, like this Zadie Jumpsuit

    Class fee includes threads and fabric: you will need to provide bobbins and needles, your machine and its power cord. We will be learning how to sew basic seams and you will leave the class with a four-patch pillow case for your favorite cozy couch or sweet armchair. 

    Cost per person: $75 

    Please call Artsworth at 207.664.0222 or email artsworthstudios@gmail.com to register. Class is limited to 6 participants.
