This is a great beginning class to help you find your design voice. The goal of this workshop is to create smaller size art quilt studies using ‘remnants’ and ‘pieces’ of fabric and found objects. Using your own stash of tiny fabric pieces – snippets, cording, heavy paper, unusual fabrics, an old sock, a sweater sleeve, citrus bags or fat quarters that relate somehow – this will be the base of your design. Fabric will be assembled, layered, collaged and finished into small, postcard size art quilts while considering basic design elements of art. |

The Business Aspect of Art is a one-day workshop designed to help you increase your skills in marketing, pricing and selling your artwork. The workshop focuses on establishing long and short term goals with your art, marketing your work in the 21st century, studio organization, writing the artist statement, pricing and selling your work, getting your name out there and other issues addressed by students. The course focuses on facilitated discussion and sharing. Course material includes bibliographies, PowerPoint presentations, written exercises for personal clarification, and handouts. |

Have you ever wanted to make a quilt to snuggle under but did not want to be tied down to rigid rules, measuring and perfect points? If the answer is yes, then this would be a wonderful workshop for you! The goal is to make a “stress free,” creative quilt top. Participants will make a laptop size quilt top using the free form piecing method. A pattern is not used but color and compositional elements are considered to make a successful, fun and functional quilt top. Expect demonstrations and PowerPoint presentations to make this method clear and easy to do. Bring fabrics which focus on a theme or element – all commercial batiks, organic images (leaves), all hand-dyed fabrics – whatever one’s personal preferences are. | |
