The
Riverbend Fiber Arts Guild hosted a wearable art Vest Workshop with
Veronica Hofman Ortega this past weekend. Several guild members spent the day creating a one-of-a-kind vest using Veronica's "yarn fabrication" technique.
A base layer of yarns served as a background for additional color or yarn embellishments. Machine stitching in blending or contrasting threads added another layer to create visual interest, depth and color to the piece.
Demonstrations and discussions on garment construction, adding buttons, buttonholes, and shaping were covered in the workshop. Ideas for combining yarn fabrication with other textiles opened the doors for many creative garment possibilities. We hope to see these wonderful pieces at future guild meetings and Show and Tell.

Great work! Everyone made wonderful progress. I can't wait to see finished artwear at Show and Tell.
