I didn’t envision ever making a pair of sneakers. But on a whim I took a class at Petting Fabric 2026 retreat in Jacksonville FL. #pettingfabricwithgeorginalewis #pettingfabric A good time featuring @quilting_elissa making her Dream Star quilt The sneaker class was a final day add on and there I was. It was a big group and there was time to complete one sneaker in class. I had my doubts about finishing the pair on my own, but step by step through thorough and excellent instructions, it happened.

🤯 Expand how you see, think, and create in e bond ‘s NEW class, DRAWING DISRUPTED. ✏️ Through 15 inventive drawing prompts, e (@eisroughdraft ) focuses on the “how” of making as much as the “what,” gently disrupting familiar patterns and opening new pathways into your process. You’ll experiment with disappearing drawings, asemic writing, drawing with two hands, and unexpected materials. Instead of chasing a polished result, e invites you to ask: How can we look differently? How can we pay closer attention? Some experiments may surprise you, some may feel a little uncomfortable, but all are designed to get you out of your head and onto the page. 🔗 on our shop grid to start today’s prompt!

Here are the workshops and classes in May.

Our new quilt kit is a stunner! We made The Penny Quilt in the new collection, "Counter," by e bond - and we're in love with it! Dynamic, bold, and bright, this quilt will be perfect for the nonconformist, the risk-taker, or the no traditionalist in your life. Kits available both in-store and online! Pattern by Kitchen Table Quilting.

We’re thrilled that the show has been installed and has already been open for two weeks. Today we hosted our second reading party, and the gallery is absolutely full of inspiration. Last week, the Gallery Practices class from UNR came through, and the students were so excited to be able to handle artwork in a gallery setting. Tomorrow we’ll host the reception from 12–4pm, with special programming throughout the afternoon. We’re also excited to welcome the Landline Poetry Series for readings by five artists, beginning at 3:00pm. If you can, please plan to join us - we’d love to see you there! #thelibraryisopen #depotgallery #bookart #artistbooks #groupexhibition @keekshough @maxxenemyy @eoverturf @quitecontrarypress @steph_kudisch @heatherleierart @mparts @the_wild_guild @eisroughdraft @anthea.black @shick.nick @eunkangkohart @troctopus @bleephotography @bays.moon.studio @antoinette_cavanaugh @zachclarkis @tarablycreative

Just two spots and one week left! We're excited to have @eisroughdraft at ARCH for Mark Making with Gelli Plates. Get your ticket at the link in our bio before they run out!

The sharing of #thelibraryisopen artists continues! Next we have e bond’s book: singularities 137: reckless assemblies. a total mixed media medley of letterpress, risograph, monotypes, erasure poems… you name it, it’s in here! “What I love about this book is it’s desire to be unrestrained and a bit unhinged in both subject and construction. When making this object for the singularities series I was trying to get back to a way of creating that was easily embodied in my early years of binding when I didn’t know the ‘correct’ ways to put things together. I wanted this book to be bound & assembled with a kind of reckless abandon that only comes with a freedom from rules or the gatekeeping that education & experience sometimes puts on our imaginings. The pages are made from anything and everything that happened to be in my life, studio, or space at the time of making: letterpress & riso prints, fabric & shape experiments from other projects, erasure poetry, collaged pieces…all assembled into a narrative of that particular moment. PS. Check out the binding, it’s super fun and made from a used USPS tyvek envelope turned into an accordion.) The origin text used for the erasure poems in this book come from: To Place Our Deeds: The African American Community in Richmond, California, 1910-1963 by Shirley Ann Wilson Moore and A History Of Richmond California: The City That Grew From A Rancho by Joseph C. Whitnah.” e bond is a designer + artist + writer + bookbinder & educator.
