From Traditional to Art Quilting
I often hear quilters say that they would like to make art quilts, but they can't
because they "don't have an artistic bone in their body".
This class will encourage participants to loose the shackles
of traditions by exploring color theory and fabric selection. We'll take simple traditional techniques and modify them into
something new and unique. We'll explore surface design techniques to enhance your fabric and quilt design.
Participants
will complete a unique art quilt top in the two-day workshop.
Best as a two-day workshop. Can be conducted as a one-day
workshop with different expections for end results.
