IN-PERSON: The Elderwise classroom, 2275 Platt Road
Have you ever marveled at art work that you thought was a painting and discovered it was made from fabric? This class will explore the beginnings of modern quilting and art quilting. Come be inspired by many examples of works by extraordinary textile artists, and hear about the journey of two Michigan art quilters. Bring an inspiring photograph to share the story you would want to capture if you made a fabric art quilt. Patti Devine is a quilter who loves making traditional pieced quilts and art quilts that capture memories of special people, pets and places. She enjoys teaching art quilting workshops including an annual art quilting retreat/workshop in Northern Michigan. Julie Zawacki is an art quilter who appreciates the space for wide open creative expression that art quilting opens.
