X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>A fun and casual program where together we
  will explore a new creative project with a guest artist each month. Regis
 tration is limited to 2SLGBTQIA+-identifying people in Waterloo Region. <b
 r /><br />This month we welcome back Guelph-based artist\, Alisa McRonald 
 who will lead participants through the creation of their own unique Fabric
  Collage! This workshop is about slowing down and doing some hand stitchin
 g by using scraps of fabric and trim as your inspiration.We will work on a
  fabric collage either on a piece of fabric that can be framed\, hung or u
 sed as a patch\, or directly onto your favourite garment (think jean jacke
 t jazz-up).&nbsp\;The best thing about this is it uses up all the little s
 craps that crafters are often left with. We will go over some different se
 wing techniques and some embroidery stitches too. You can use this time to
  play\, tell a story with your work or just relax into some hand stitching
 </p>\n<p>No experience is necessary and all materials are provided.<br />&

 s://www.alisamcronald.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Alisa Mc
 Ronald">Alisa McRonald</a> is a contemporary textile artist creating work 
 that celebrates fairytales\, folklore and queerness with a vintage/kitsch/
 pop lens. She has exhibited nationally and internationally including at th
 e Drey Gallery (2024)\, the Toronto Reference Library\, the Interior Desig
 n Show Prototype Exhibition and the Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and A
 rea (CAFKA) (2023)\, Craft Ontario (2022) and the Drake Hotel in Toronto (
 2021). She loves to rescue other handmade items such as quilts and afghans
  from thrift shops and rummage sales. For her\, these items represent many
  hours of skills and hands full of love. Alisa is passionate about using r
 eclaimed textiles and has made a commitment to use as much as possible in 
 her work (she's nearing 100%).</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>This program is offered in
