September, 2017: Sujata Shah therootconnection.blogspot.com Sujata’s workshops are designed to encourage freedom of creating individual and unique quilts and understand personal creative process for her students. Although the basic idea is taught, students are encouraged to explore many possibilities. Questions such as ''What if?'' and ''How about?'' have made her look at every quilt differently and lead to many discoveries, abilities her classes are intended to cultivate and develop. Organized Chaos is actually an old favorite with a modern twist. Making a scrap quilt has never been so much fun. Learn about values and colors by observing everyday life. During the class Sujata shares how she sees colors and interprets them into quilts. Creativity is not about having a lot to choose form but how to choose wisely from what you have. This quilt is a true scrap quilt. You will learn how sometimes self-created limits provide the best results. October, 2017: Terry Waldron www.terrywaldron.com  Terry learned to quilt from Japanese master-quilter Keiko Goke and from looking at the work of Ayako Miyawaki. Japanese art is based on very different design principles than Western art, and it's peaceful and intriguing, too. In this class students will be making a wildly different log cabin, primarily by machine, and different but very soothing hand sewing techniques as they create original shapes for familiar objects. It's so freeing and fun! They'll even choose from excellent translations of Japanese haiku masters' poetry to add to their work.  Printed Supply List will be provided at sign-up This is a class for those who truly LOVE the land and its trees, water, and sky. There are no patterns because Nature isn't as simple as a pattern. Terry LOVES variations and imperfections! In this class students will learn her "rough cut" technique to chew out tree trunks and leaves and grassy hills. They'll learn aerial perspective and the 4 principles of composition that will make their landscapes shine. If you listen well, when you leave class, you'll be able to create any landscape that you can dream up. |
