Teacher bio: Alden Sobol is a self-taught sewist who fell in love with sewing in 2018 and hasn’t stopped since. Custom made clothing is their favorite thing to sew, every body deserves to wear clothing that fits well and feels great, though they aren’t very picky and will gladly attempt to sew just about anything. Alden also facilitates OffCenter’s weekly Open Sew night on Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m.

Why are there multiple prices? All of our classes are offered at a sliding scale, with a free option available to anyone that requests it. The core price is the "true" cost of the class OffCenter needs to cover paying our teachers and providing supplies and materials. If you are able to support at a higher level, paying the top supporter price helps ensure we're able to offer a variety of classes and always keep free spaces open for anyone that needs.
There are a limited number of free spots available online. If these are sold out, please email, call, or drop by the studio to sign up! Email info@offcenterarts.org.
