September 9 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
$200.00
This is an 8 week long quilting course with Sarah King from 7/9/26-10/28/26 from 5:30-7:30pm
This course is a supportive class for improvised projects on varying scales, suited to help students at the beginner level and the experienced pursue a project of their own design. We will investigate improvised practices and explore the journey of this type of quilting through the structure of a sampler quilt. The 8 weeks will center on each student discovering their own personality as an improvised quilter and find confidence to explore their instincts. The hope with this course is to help students understand their own quilting personality while also developing skills on sewing and accomplishing a finished work. Each week students will be led with a new improvising prompt, skill or concept that will be turned into a block. Through these blocks, students will learn to set strategies for their process while also learning to cope with the evolutions and shifts that come up in improvising. Students will also learn how to share work and get feedback from other students and build community in making.
Quilting is as much about the process as it is about the finished quilt. It is an exercise in exploring one’s relationship to navigating entropy: finding narrative and pattern in chaos. Playing with how many possibilities and pieces and colors and textures are before you and empowering oneself to make decisions and be flexible to change.
