Creativity Workshop: Art Quilt Inspirations

Good News!  Sandra Sider, curator of the Texas Quilt Museum, and former SAQA President, is announcing a creativity workshop.

September 25 - 29, 2016

This workshop is based on the principles of art and design developed in Sandra Sider's critique workshops and written about in the volumes of her Studio Quilt monograph series and illustrated in her new book 1000 Quilt Inspirations.  Limited to 12 participants, the workshop will allow Sandra to spend considerable time each day working one on one with quilters, evaluating their work and suggesting possible directions for developing each quilt.  She will also teach the basics of monotype  printing, stamp printing, and photo transfer, as well as cyanotype on fabric ...(if it's a sunny day).  The final morning will be critiques.
Quilters should bring materials to begin a new quilt top, sewing supplies and tools, sewing machine, and an iron.  Class is suitable for all levels of quilters, but excellent sewing skills and expertise with one's ewing machine is a must.
Tuition for the week is $500.00.  There is also a materials fee of $40.00.  Total cost is dependent on the lodging selected, from $450 to $775.  It does include all meals.
