Teacher bio: Alden Sobol (he/they) 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, as they believe every body deserves to wear clothing that fits well and feels great. However, they aren’t very picky and will gladly attempt to sew just about anything. Alden loves the therapeutic experiences of making art/being creative and infuses their classes with this idea. When not at home sewing, cooking, knitting, or reading, they can be found wandering through the Bosque, dancing, or biking. They work at OffCenter and, in addition to teaching sewing classes, facilitate Open Sew on Wednesdays from 6-8pm.
Bring a sewing pattern and the fabric you need for it to this class (or come to OffCenter before the class to browse our patterns and fabric).
Age & Experience Requirements: Ages 16 and up. Ability to comfortably use a sewing machine.
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. When possible, we make the base option available in order to partly cover the cost of the class. 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 supporter price helps ensure we're able to continue offering a variety of classes and 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.
