Workshops

Light the Way With Color

When someone sees your work, what do you want them to see and how do you want them to feel? Learn how to manipulate value and color in your art quilts to create an exceptional piece that sings with depth and illumination that creates a mood.

This is a full day class. In the morning session you will learn how to work with a full range of values to manipulate and enhance the composition and create a powerful impact for the viewer. The session builds with the addition of color as you learn about color theory and color schemes to add to the mood and mystery you want to create.

The afternoon session allows for personal expression and individual help.

Lectures

Finding Myself Floating in Color Soup

Have you ever wondered where you fit in as a quilter. You may dabble a little in this a little in that and love it all, but then you ask; Do I fit in? Where is my place? This lecture tells how I came to understand my uniqueness and found a place to fit in. My hope is that this will help you find a place to call your own.
