Saturday, March 21 - 11:00AM - 2:00PM

Skill Level: Level One (Beginner)

Requirements: No experience required

In honor of National Quilting Day on March 21, we’re offering a fiber-focused workshop with Hadley Clark. The workshop is open to all skill levels and perfect for anyone interested in exploring quilting and natural dyeing techniques to create a custom handmade sachet.

The word sachet carries many meanings—a sewn bag filled with lavender for your drawer, a tied cheesecloth bundle of spices for soup, or a packet of tea. It’s a small package for transporting something—a scent or a flavor—from one place to another.
In the workshop, you will:

• Learn about the materials and concepts of sachet making.

• Hand-stitch with needle and thread using natural dye materials from Hadley’s garden—marigold, dyer’s chamomile, coreopsis, sulphur cosmos, yarrow flowers, osage, and logwood.

• Experiment with warm water to see how it transforms the stuffed fillings and brings color to the sachet materials.

• Stitch your sachets to create a thoughtful, intentional small bag for dreams and memories.

All supplies are provided.

Hadley Clark is a participating artist in Second Skin: Exploring Adornment as an Extension of Self, currently on view at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery through May 2, 2026.
