Our monthly Sewing Circles are a relatively new addition to our home studio gatherings and workshops. Though we are sewing books the idea is similar in sentiment to a bunch of ladies gathering around to hand-stitch a quilt (of course men are invited too). We typically meet in my home studio the first Monday evening of each month from 5:30 to whenever. The intention of these book socials are:

#1. to provide special time set aside to complete unfinished and/or anxiety ridden projects in good company

#2. for former students to continue their development in bookarts without having to pay for yet another class

#3 to have show-and-tell; share your current work and be inspired by the work of your peers

#4. a chance for problem solving and sewing assistance from Annie Fain or anyone present

#5. to stockup on materials (waxed linen, text paper, bookbinders glue)

#6. in a nut shell, to provide a gathering space for budding and advanced book artists alike and to continue to strengthen our arts community simply by getting together on a regular basis

Best of all, we always have tea and treats! Feel free to come by if you are a book artist who has happened upon this website and/or visiting Asheville from somewhere else.
