Prepping for Classes
I sure really enjoy teaching, so it’s always fun to plan, prepare, and anticipate, when the next one is on the horizon. This week, I’m preparing for two.
I’ll be teaching Sticky Fingers (Glued Collage)online, starting on the 24th. This glued fabric collage technique is VERY fast and easy! I love it!
The class sample is a simple cruciform design, although students are encouraged to do their own thing.
Many students create their own designs, like Helen Ernst.
And Anne Wise.
If you’d like to join in the fun, find full class details here.
Later this week, I’ll be traveling to Shelby, NC for a lecture and my Design Your Own Nature Quilt class. This is my favorite class to teach! The students are challenged, but they learn SO much! It’s exciting to be in the same room!
In this class, students use their own nature photo as a starting point. Remembering the class motto, “Be inspired by your photo, not owned by it,” they create a design plan and get to work, using a raw edge collage technique. The results in this class are always amazing! (Even more so, if you could see the starting photos and realize how much the students have improved upon them.)
Just look at some of these examples. Like this quilt by Nathalie Goosens:
And this one by Patricia Powers:
Great, right? I’m getting excited! Hope I’ll see you in class!
