Today we are pleased to announce that we are back in the studio!

While our ceramics department is temporarily on-hold, SwansonFineArts is pleased to announce that we are back in the studio airbrushing, making digital arts, music, and sewing/embroidery. Our first priority will be to get caught up on back-orders and we hope to make ceramics again this spring. This past year was very difficult for all of us, but we are pleased to announce that we are working hard toward recovery. Please send your best wishes both for a good economy and healing in the coming year. We will also share about pain management and physical health in the community section because we feel that is very important for others to not feel alone and it helps us to connect with you all as well to share our journey into the new year.

Thank you all for your continued support…HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sewing

The SwansonFineArts studios are proud to present our new sewing and embroidery department. It is currently in the initial startup phase, but soon we will be able to sew and embroider with ease. Learn how to sew or order sewing accents…we hope that you enjoy our new sewing, embroidery, and leatherwork section.

Machine Sewing

Using a sewing machine is very easy and efficient. Join our discussions on sewing techniques, different types of sewing machines, fabrics, tension settings, and other machine sewing topics.

Hand-Stitching

Even if you plan to primarily use a sewing machine, hand-stitching is a necessary skill. Use it on thick fabrics that cannot fit in your machine, difficult to get to areas, or for stitching only through one or two layers of a project.

Embroidery

Learn about and view our beautiful embroidery patterns. Machine embroidery is fantastic because you can create or purchase a pattern and use it time after time with different colors and sizes. Our digital section will cover the tech aspects of pattern creation and the computer-end of things while this section will focus on how to interact and work with the embroidery machine, adding embellishments, and how to embroider by hand.

Leatherwork

Sewing is an essential aspect of leatherwork and we will take you on our journey for creating patterns, cutting, shaping, tooling, dying, and sewing leather projects.

Shop

Our shop has our most recent and currently available items, and we are always happy to do custom orders.

We have also received several requests for online classes, so watch for classes in the coming year! Each course will cover basics as well as advanced techniques, and you can help us to develop our curriculum. Let us know in the comments what topics you would like to have a class on and we will see what we can do!
