In this one-day hands-on workshop, artist Janice Jakielski will teach students a wide variety of hand-sewn fabric-manipulation techniques, including flower construction, pleating, tucking, gathering and layering materials, to create unique hair fascinators (hair adornments).  Students will have the opportunity to experiment with a large range of methods, from traditional Japanese Kanzashi folded petals to free-form intuitive designs. All materials are included but students are encouraged to bring scraps of their favorite fabrics, ribbon, feathers and other embellishments.  Workshop includes a 30-minute lunch break.Janice Jakielski’s solo exhibition, Constructing Solitude, will be on view at HCCC January 25 – May 5, 2013, in the small gallery.
