As an artist, I am interested in merging my art background with quilting techniques and to explore those potentials, in the effort to express the inner life through fabric art. As a teacher, my interest is to share those techniques, and more importantly, to encourage students to validate their own art nature, and find their own unique expression of art in their quilt work, no matter what style they choose.
OUR CLASSES IN ITALY, JULY 2012!
What could be a more enticing combination than art, textiles and Italy? Enjoy a week in the Italian countryside , visiting medieval villages, experiencing the wonderful food, wine and unspoiled beauties of the Abruzzo region -- and textile arts classes that will instruct you to create a unique remembrance of your trip. Kerby and I are both honored to be among those offering classes this coming summer, July 25-August 1, 2012 at the Abruzzo School of Creative Art in Sulmona, Italy for its premier summer session. Both our classes are the same week: I am teaching "Sketching the Memorable Art Quilt" and Kerby offers "Photo Journaling for the Textile Artist." Visit here for details. We'd love to see you there!
