What piques your interest: Playing with color and patterns? Preserving memories? Telling your family’s history? Recording your travel adventures? Addressing important causes? Celebrating your garden, children or grandchildren? An accordion “book” made with textiles is a fun way to creatively express what makes your heart sing. We will turn 2-D pieces into 3-D artwork that will showcase your passion.

Mirka Knaster creates 2-D and 3-D art in a studio overlooking the Pacific Ocean. She stitches handmade paper and textiles gathered in Asia, upcycled from her closet, or saved from landfills, dyeing mostly with rust and indigo. Mirka teaches, writes an art blog, and is a board member of the Textile Arts Council and Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
