Textiles Area

Overview

Taking up one half of the Fish Bowl, denhac’s Textiles Area has grown drastically since it’s origination and includes: 3 home sewing machines, 2 industrial sewing machines, 1 industrial serger, 2 home sergers, 2 embroidery machines.

The Textiles area is one of the fastest growing sections of denhac and we are working to provide both introductory level classes and advanced classes covering everything from someone who has not ever touched a sewing machine before to someone who is regularly making their own clothing. We also teach specialty classes based around seasonal needs.  You can find more information including a regularly updated class schedule at #sewingclasses.
