The City House history begins in 1927, when the building first opened as the Saint Paul Municipal Elevator and Sackhouse along the Mississippi River. Before becoming a riverfront restaurant, City House played a major role in Saint Paul’s grain industry and the city’s identity as a Mississippi River port. What now serves as a gathering place once moved grain throughout the Twin Cities and helped support the agricultural economy of the region.
In this class, students will create a peaceful fabric landscape using a combination of cloth, lace, and simple appliqué techniques. Participants will learn foundational hand stitches used in slow stitching, as well as decorative embroidery stitches for embellishment and texture. We will explore how to layer fabrics, add collage-like elements, and build a composition that feels personal and expressive. Students will also learn how to incorporate recycled textiles or eco-printed fabrics to bring meaning and sustainability into their work.
Experience a new way to make “paintings” – instead of brushstrokes of paint, you will use pieces of glued yarn to create your artwork. You will be able to choose from a selection of outlines to start from or you can create your own image. No experience is necessary, all materials will be provided. By the end of the class you will have a finished piece of framed art. Enjoy experimenting with this novel approach to fiber art!

Get your hands on some wool as we learn the ancient and magical technique of wet felting! In this workshop, students will be learning the basics of felting while playing with color, texture, and composition to create a piece of wet felted fabric. No previous experience necessary. Please note: This is a pretty physical process, students must be able to stand for the majority of the workshop and move arms pretty rigorously.
Learn to carve a spoon using a straight blade knife and a hook knife to carve out the bowl of the birch cooking spoon. The class will cover learning some basic carving techniques using a straight blade helping understand the grain of the wood. Then starting with a roughed out spoon blank, you will work on crafting your spoon. The shaping is done with the straight blade, and then the bowl is carved out using a hook knife. The goal is to spend a couple hours carving, and leave with a finished cooking spoon! No previous experience required, all tools and materials will be provided.
