Yardwork with Hadley Clark Fall 2025

Our ability to make use of pieces from our past in order to generate the raw materials of our future is, I believe, our way forward. As an artist and garment designer, I have been using fabric donations as well as my own textile waste to make one-of-a-kind garments for the last ten-plus years. After the height of the summer, and as we walk into the fall season, give yourself permission to compose new yardage from all of those miscellaneous scraps, fabric remnants, worn-out garments, linens, and other soft materials you have been holding on to. 

Yardwork will follow the structure of my own studio practice; we will begin with explorations of decorated scraps of textiles, proceed through cutting, piecing, stitching, and ironing, and complete with new yardage for future projects. Specifically, for this workshop, we will create a piece of collaged yardage to create a bag with a pdf paper pattern supplied to participants.
