Strong Design: The bones of the successful art quilt
The purpose of this workshop is to learn how to make stronger designs (the bones of the art quilt) so that the work as a whole has more impact, is more direct and economical and has more emotional content.

Elizabeth Barton will show her work and discuss influences and her process, especially her consideration and approach to the elements of good design. Participants will develop design sketches and participate in discussions and critique.

Workshop is limited to 15 participants. Please see and follow registrations instructions below.
