English Paper Piecing "Sewcial" Class with Marissa Flynn

Whether you are a beginner or a skilled English Paper Piecer, there’s a place for you in this sewing circle. Join fellow makers on Thursday evenings in September as we gather for inspiration, project support, and community. Learn this slow sewing hand craft, start a new project or dust off that work in progress that has been long forgotten. Marissa will share techniques and help you get into a rhythm to keep your project progressing.

About the Instructor: Marissa Flynn

Marissa Flynn has always been a maker at heart.  As a young mother, she gravitated toward the portable, hand sewing art of English Paper Piecing. EPP brought her the freedom to create wherever and whenever she found a pocket of time, while also being a slow, meditative craft. When her family moved abroad to Asia, this portable craft accompanied her and was a tool she relied on to establish community.  Most recently, while living in Seoul, South Korea, Marissa began a weekly fiber arts meet up, where women came together to craft and share their experiences of life abroad.  Now, after almost six years away from home, her family is settling back into life on the South Shore.
