A few weeks ago I made this little banner that I donated to our local Humane Society for their Barks & Bags Fundraiser event. I hope it auctioned off and raised some $$$ to help those babies at the shelter.

Sewing Camps Added to Summer Schedule

April 18, 2024 by kellywalkerstudios

The Studio has added two sessions of Summer Sewing Camp to our schedule. Sewing Camp 1 is June 13 & 14 and is for ages 8+. We will learn sewing machine basics and safety while making several projects….a reversible tote bag and a quilted banner with a summer theme. Sewing Camp 2 is July 25 & 26 and we will again learn about basic sewing machine skills while making a cool project. We will design our own stuffed animal. We’ll begin by drawing a design and work it into a pattern, sew it up and take it to the final design details. Will it be a turquoise cat or a green fox? Maybe it will be a red and yellow striped turtle…..who knows what we will come up with in this fun class. Don’t miss it. This will be a very unique project. And chances are we will have time to make a matching tote bag to carry it in. The cute little frog above is a sample of what we have in mind.

A Heade Reimagined

April 11, 2024 by kellywalkerstudios

One of our Wednesday evening art students, Leslie, reimagined Martin Johnson Heade’s Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds from 1871 and made it her own by recreating it into a collage piece. She painted each small piece seperately and then adhered it to a canvas raising it slightly. The effect is amazing! She even used small bits of moss to dangle from the upper trees. Great work Leslie. The patience you exhibited really paid off. It’s fabulous!
