Sewing & more, made easy!
At West Workshop, we offer a wide range of short-form sewing classes and workshops designed to fit your busy schedule. Imbedded in our curriculum is accessibility and sustainability. Our ever-changing, curated lineup includes everything from a beginner sewing class, up-cycling workshops, jewelry, mending, eco dying and much more!
We’re proud to be a space for makers of all ages. In addition to our adult workshops, we offer a selection of kids’ sewing programs — including after-school classes, weekend workshops, and a popular summer sewing camp that encourages young creatives to explore skills in design, sewing, and illustration.
Our classes are led by a rotating team of in-house instructors and visiting guest artists, creating a rich, supportive environment where creativity thrives.
