As a 'slow fashion' pioneer, Karen Lukacs harnesses over 20 years of textile experience to embody the role of maker-activist. Her work merges art, design, and handcraft - all the while elevating fashion to an act of advocacy.
Karen performs a modern-day alchemy in her Tucson studio, where designing and making take on a larger and sustaining context of timelessness and intentionality.

This workshop is an opportunity to make with like-minded creatives, exploring and sharing your sewing passion!' Diane
"I love creating outer garments in the fall and look forward to sharing this Oct.studio time with Karen. I appreciate her passion for creating sustainable, responsible fashion focusing on a material we all know: Denim. The process starts with an inspiration, a seed, a unique combination. The metaphor of 'meaning' can reveal new aspects of sewing, textile play and silhouettes. We'll explore construction techniques and how wearing impacts silhouettes, details and closure design. Start dreaming of a garment you've always wanted, collect your favorite materials ..and join us to create it. " Diane

“I think Ashland is the perfect spot for a DOL retreat. What a beautiful little town. Holding it at the Historic Ashland Springs Hotel is so convenient. You can walk to all the terrifies shops and restaurants and even see a play if you like. I’ve been to lots of DOL retreats and this one was super!” 2019 Participant
