The Spirit of Cloth: How What We Wear Tells Our Story - Candice English - Sat. 8/1

Saturday, August 1

2:00-4:00, 2 hours

About this class:
Every stitch, seam, and thread carries a story. In this immersive and reflective workshop, The Spirit of Cloth, Candice English of Farmer’s Daughter Fibers invites you to explore how the garments we wear and the ones we make become living expressions of who we are.

Rooted in Candice’s own Blackfeet heritage and Montana upbringing, this class examines how clothing  has served as a language of identity, belonging, and spirit. From the beadwork and hide garments of the Blackfeet and Plains peoples, each piece was made with intention, prayer, and meaning.

Together, we’ll discuss how materials, color, and craftsmanship reflect culture and lineage and how those same values live on in modern making. Participants will be invited to reflect on their own creative practices, tracing how their knitting journey is about far more than creating something to wear. It’s about honoring the stories we carry, the land we come from, and the threads that connect us all.

Level: All Levels
