Innisfree Inspires + Upstate Art Weekend: Fine Art Embroidery Workshop with Richard Saja
July 22, 2023

On Saturday July 22 at 10:30 AM, join fine art embroiderer Richard Saja for an exclusive two-hour, hands-on workshop exploring his process and creating “embellished toile.” Richard embroiders over toile de Jouy, a traditional textile form of densely printed, typically monochrome landscape vignettes. Inspired by Innisfree, Richard has been planning a special series on this landscape for several years. Along with other necessary supplies they can keep, workshop participants will be given a section of this new Innisfree fabric (not available anywhere else) to embellish with guidance from Richard, making this landscape their own. There will be a few pairs of scissors available to borrow but participants are encouraged to bring their own. Advanced registration is strongly suggested.
