Classes are small, with one-on-one instruction for sewers of all skill levels; machines are provided, and for the most basic workshops, so are the needles, thread and fabric (more advanced students must purchase materials from a...

John Haeseler Revisited is small but well worth a look

By Michael Paglia | Thu, June 30, 2011

When an artist does work that is ahead of his or her time, it usually means the work is under-appreciated or even unnoticed. To some extent, that's what happened to John Haeseler, who, beginning in the 1970s, created pieces that responded to both... More »
