Quilted “JOY” Wall Hanging Workshop
Saturday, May 16, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Springboard for the Arts, Fergus Falls, MN
In this workshop, textile artist Melissa Wray will teach participants how to sew lettering and assemble a quilted wall hanging inspired by Mary Oliver’s words, “Joy is not made to be a crumb.” Participants will create a handmade textile piece to take home.
Some sewing experience is required. Participants are encouraged to bring a sewing machine if they have one. Anyone needing a sewing machine should contact Melissa Wray at melissa.ellen.wray@gmail.com in advance to arrange one. All other materials will be provided, though participants are welcome to bring fabric they would specifically like to use.
This class is free, but registration is required as space is limited. A freewill donation jar will be available on site for those who wish to contribute, though donations are not required.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
