Materials and tools will be provided by the instructor.About the Instructor - Juliana ScherzerJuliana Scherzer works with machine embroidery and preserved leaves to create pieces that reference historical craft aesthetics and natural structures. Juliana creates work with a focus on low impact, reuse of materials, and fostering connections with our environment, both manmade and natural. 

Juliana’s most recent work studies the intersections and contrasts between the natural and the artificial with imagery drawn from craft and across the natural world, Juliana explores the place of humanity within these concepts. Similarities between these two seemingly opposite ideas are highlighted through the manipulation of organic materials with contemporary and traditional textile techniques, drawing upon repeating organic imagery of pathways, roots, veins, and woven structures. The work brings about reflection on the process of creation and humanity’s interaction with its environment, confronting one’s own individualism outside of nature and contemplation of their sense of place in relation to nature.<a href="https://julianascherzer.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://julianascherzer.com</a>	<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jlzsz/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/jlzsz/</a>
