 stom gown just for you. We’ll cover measurements\, pattern adjustments\,
  fitting\, period sewing techniques\, trimming\, boning\, hand finishing\,
  and much more. \nIn the first session\, you will cover a brief overview o
 f the styles worn in the era. You will take measurements\, trace off the c
 orrect pattern pieces\, and then make and fit mock-ups. \nIn the second se
 ssion\, you will then move on to cutting and constructing your bodice and 
 adding boning. We’ll finish out by concentrating on closures and facings
 . \nPrerequisites: Students must have made at least one dress or blouse fr
 om a pattern and know how to use a sewing machine. \nSUPPLY LIST:THE PATTE
 RN: \nA Truly Victorian bodice pattern from the Victorian era (1840 – 18
 90s) These patterns have been carefully chosen because they have similar p
 attern pieces and come from reputable companies. Please do not substitute

 ic\, as listed on your pattern.  Remember to buy enough to make matching 
 skirts if you want them.\nLining: NOT modern slippery lining fabrics!  10
 0% cotton sateen\, lightweight twill\, polished cotton or broadcloth.  Sa
 me yardage as bodice.\nMuslin (or old sheets\, etc) for a mockup: 2 yards 
 or more\nPreparation: Please prepare all fabrics by washing or steaming\, 
 if necessary.  However\, do not wash your muslin.  Press all fabrics.  
 Tape together print-at-home patterns if needed.  Read pattern instruction
 s. \n\n  \nWHAT TO WEAR: \nPlease bring the underpinnings that you plan 
 on wearing with bodice. Historically accurate undergarments are a well-fit
 ted corset\, chemise\, petticoats\, and hoop\, bum pad\, or bustle\, if yo
 u will be wearing one is highly recommended.  Petticoats\, hoops\, and bu
 stle/pad affect the fit of your bodice\, so please bring them if you will 
 be wearing them.  It is perfectly fine not to wear historical undergarmen
 ts\, but you must have all the undergarments you plan to wear at the first
  class and every class thereafter. Switching the undergarments will undo a
 ll your careful fitting work.  \nWearing modern undergarments instead is 
 absolutely fine\; just be aware that a skirt made to wear with a corset wi
 ll not fit properly\, or at all\, without one\, and vice versa. So please 
 make a decision and commit to it. Showing up at the second class session w
 ith a beautiful new corset will undo most of your previous fitting work. 
   \n  \nMATERIALS: (Some of which are available from Lacis) \n\nBone cas
 ing: 6 yards.  You can use seam binding\, Prussian tape\, ribbon\, bias t
 ape\, lining fabric\, etc.\nBoning: five yards artificial whalebone\, or y

 brics\nClosures as listed in pattern: buttons\, hooks/eyes\, hook and eye 
 tape\, or eyelets for lacing\n2  yards ¾” – 1” petersham ribbon\nL
 arge hook and eye to fit petersham (or two dress size hooks and eyes)\nAny
  desired trimming\nOptional: 12 yards seam binding for Hong-Kong style sea

 Creative expression is a way to integrate phenomenon and visions experienc
 ed in altered states of consciousness\, whether they be meditative or enth
 eogenic in nature. From the very first forms of mark-making to the caves o
 f Lascaux to the works of Pablo Amaringo and Alex Grey\, humanity has soug
 ht to understand our internal landscapes through visual expression.Alligat
 or Lizards in the Air: Healing and Integration through Creative Expression
 \, is a once a month chance to bring these experiences to life through two
  dimensional mark making.Art mediums from paint to colored pencils\, crayo
 ns to markers\, will be available for everyone to use along with paper and
  canvas. Krisztina Lazar will be your visionary guide in creativity and wi
 ll help you realize your experience before your eyes. No art background ne
 eded for this class. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to exp
 lore.Krisztina Lazar is a visionary artist primarily working in oil paint
 \, watercolor and drawing. She is a Mische Technique lineage holder\, a mi
 xture of oil and egg tempera painting invented during the Dutch Renaissanc
 e and revolutionized by modern master\, Ernst Fuchs. This technique create
 s an opalescent under painting that the colors are then glazed over\, rend
 ering each painting out of light rather than shadow\, bringing the images 
 to life with fractal clarity.Utilizing this transformative style that she 
 learned from visionary pioneer\, Brigid Marlin\, her current body of work 
 explores painting a hybrid of Mische and Alla Prima to render hyperealisti
 c sacred art. With these two techniques combined\, Krisztina creates image
 s of Pop Shamanism\, portals and visions that speak to today’s cultural 
 climate of the occult\, magic\, fantasy\, psychedelics\, meditation\, pop\
 , nostalgia\, and the environment movement.Originally from Cleveland\, OH\
 , she completed her BFA at Carnegie Mellon University in 2004 and her MFA 
 graduate degree in 2011 at the San Francisco Art Institute New Genres depa
 rtment. Her paintings have been exhibited in group and solo shows througho
 ut the United States and Europe\, most notably at the H.R. Geiger museum i
 n Gruyere\, Switzerland. She teaches her unique styles of painting to many
  students in group and private settings. Her work has been featured in mul
 tiple articles\, galleries and book publications. She currently lives and 
 works in Northern California.

 \n\nComposer Elliott Carter (December 11\, 1908 – November 5\, 2012) is 
 internationally recognized as one of the most influential American voices 
 in classical music\, and a leading figure of modernism in the 20th and 21s
 t centuries. He was hailed as “America’s great musical poet” by Andr
 ew Porter and noted as “one of America’s most distinguished creative a
 rtists in any field” by his friend Aaron Copland. Carter’s prolific ca
 reer spanned over 75 years\, with more than 150 pieces\, ranging from cham
 ber music to orchestral works to opera\, often marked with a sense of wit 
 and humor. He received numerous honors and accolades\, including the Pulit
 zer Prize on two occasions: in 1960 for his String Quartet No. 2 and in 1
 973 for his String Quartet No. 3. Other awards include Germany’s Ernst 
 Von Siemens Music Prize and the Prince Pierre Foundation Music Award. Cart
 er was the first composer to receive the United States National Medal of A
 rts\, and is one of a handful of composers inducted into the American Clas
 sical Music Hall of Fame. He was recognized twice by the Government of Fra
 nce: being named Commander of the “Ordre des Arts et des Lettres\,” an
 d receiving the insignia of Commander of the Legion of Honor in September 
 2012. \nPhoto by Nancy Lee Katz\, 1999. Gift of Michael S. Sachs\, 2024.1.

 eative expression is a way to integrate phenomenon and visions experienced
  in altered states of consciousness\, whether they be meditative or entheo
 genic in nature. From the very first forms of mark-making to the caves of 
 Lascaux to the works of Pablo Amaringo and Alex Grey\, humanity has sought
  to understand our internal landscapes through visual expression.Alligator
  Lizards in the Air: Healing and Integration through Creative Expression\,
  is a once a month chance to bring these experiences to life through two d
 imensional mark making.Art mediums from paint to colored pencils\, crayons
  to markers\, will be available for everyone to use along with paper and c
 anvas. Krisztina Lazar will be your visionary guide in creativity and will
  help you realize your experience before your eyes. No art background need
 ed for this class. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to explo
 re.Krisztina Lazar is a visionary artist primarily working in oil paint\,
  watercolor and drawing. She is a Mische Technique lineage holder\, a mixt
 ure of oil and egg tempera painting invented during the Dutch Renaissance 
 and revolutionized by modern master\, Ernst Fuchs. This technique creates 
 an opalescent under painting that the colors are then glazed over\, render
 ing each painting out of light rather than shadow\, bringing the images to
  life with fractal clarity.Utilizing this transformative style that she le
 arned from visionary pioneer\, Brigid Marlin\, her current body of work ex
 plores painting a hybrid of Mische and Alla Prima to render hyperealistic 
 sacred art. With these two techniques combined\, Krisztina creates images 
 of Pop Shamanism\, portals and visions that speak to today’s cultural cl
 imate of the occult\, magic\, fantasy\, psychedelics\, meditation\, pop\, 
 nostalgia\, and the environment movement.Originally from Cleveland\, OH\, 
 she completed her BFA at Carnegie Mellon University in 2004 and her MFA gr
 aduate degree in 2011 at the San Francisco Art Institute New Genres depart
 ment. Her paintings have been exhibited in group and solo shows throughout
  the United States and Europe\, most notably at the H.R. Geiger museum in 
 Gruyere\, Switzerland. She teaches her unique styles of painting to many s
 tudents in group and private settings. Her work has been featured in multi
 ple articles\, galleries and book publications. She currently lives and wo
 rks in Northern California.
