August, 2008
- Susan Shie
- Saturday & Monday — August 23 & 25 (two day workshop) —
Diary Paintings for quilts: airpen and markers
(Supply List)
-
The workshop includes use of markers and airpen for drawing and writing,
and brush-on fabric paint for coloring the painting.
The group creates a long list of topics to select one from,
as a majority vote, for each day of class, so the students all respond
to the same idea, but from their own personal viewpoint.
Rebels are free to work on a different theme from the group
theme each day. The class is very free and open,
with much sharing between students, me doing a lot of one-on-one
teaching, and us discussing our work each day in show-and-tell format.
Emphasis in this class is on letting your intuitive creative energy
flow out fresh, right onto the fabric, without judging it as right or
wrong. We'll use sketchbooks to develop ideas, but not erasers
or tracing paper.

Jeanette DiNicolis Meyer
- Saturday, September 27, — Line Dancing - working with line
(Supply List)
-
|
Textile artists use line in piecing, appliqué, surface stitchery,
and quilting, and can use these techniques as tools for expression
and meaning if they can use line well.
In this workshop, we will approach line playfully using wire,
pen and paper, fiber and thread, free motion sewing and fusible collage.
You will learn more about how you make marks, and the way you make marks
your own, knowledge that will help you use the design element
of line to energize your next quilt.

- Monday, September 29, — Curves - Curved Piecing
(Supply List)
-
|
Students will learn to “draw” shallow free motion curves directly
onto fabric with a rotary cutter, without templates.
Machine construction techniques will be demonstrated via a slide
presentation and class demonstrations.
Each student will begin a small quilt top in this one day class.
The final class critique will focus on ideas for finishing details,
from quilting to edges.

that she will help all overachievers to finish by the show and tell
meeting if they desire. (Her phone

further than the basics.
