Art Quilts from Photographs

Art Quilts from Photgraphs

Initial session- Friday May 15 1pm-3pm

work sessions- Fridays June 19 & 26, & July 3 1pm-5pm

First session (2 hours) followed 4 weeks later by 3 weekly sessions (4 hour). 4 total sessions.

In this 4 session class we will be making 26x34” art quilts using a personal photo. You will have the option to pick and choose from a variety of offered techniques.

There are no hard fast rules to making these art quilts, you will be encouraged to let go, get loose, and allow imperfections. This ought be an enjoyable experience!

Students will have a ready to quilt piece by the end of class (or close to). My hopes are that students will gain new knowledge, leaving them inspired to create another art quilt on their own.

In session 1, we will go over fabric, supplies, and subject matter. Students will bring 2-4 photo options(digital or physical photos). Photos need to be on the simpler side. Such as a head portrait, or other single subject image. A couple subjects may be possible, depending on complexity. Ideas also include, pets/animals, babies/children, basic landscape. Bring your options, and we will determine in class the best photo to use. The instructor will take copies of final photos, and create patterns pre-printed on cotton lawn fabric.

Patterns will be ready by session 2, where we will dive in!

Class Fee: $95 (includes custom pre-printed pattern)
