COMING UP:

April Workshop - Thursday April 11th (please note this is a virtual workshop)

MAP PLAY - VALERIE GOODWIN

Come play!! Create artful map studies through creative exercises that will help you understand the basic principles of design. An art quilter’s most valuable asset is his or her creativity — and it needs to be reinforced through an understanding of design thinking. In this workshop you’ll find creative thinking exercises. Beginning with an exercise related to the seven principles of design --work instinctively with color – explore creativity through experimentation. All works are small, enabling you to develop ideas quickly and freely.

Upcoming Workshops

November Workshop:
Amazing Abstracts with Julia Graves

  • In November we welcome Julia Graves (virtually) who will teach us how to create an abstract quilt with amazing movement and drama, using the techniques pioneered by Ursula Kern. We will go from inspiration to a simple sketch, to coloring our sketch with bits of fabric to create a mock up of our designs. The design is then gridded and blocks are foundation pieced using an easy method.

March Workshop:
Tentative title: Embroidery and Embellishment with Cheryl See

  • Take your quilt to the next level with hand embroidery.

    In this Full-Day workshop students will sew strips of selvages together by machine to form a block. Lace will then be added.  Hand embroidery stitches will be taught and used to embellish the block.  Additional embellishment options that will be discussed include:  beading, lace/ric rack, flat back crystals, and buttons.  Students are encouraged to bring embellishment options to personalize their project as well as any embroidery thread they may wish to use.  We will also learn beaded cording technique.
