Quilt at the Winter School

I have quite a few teaching dates organised for this year and most are for private groups and don't have any vacancies but the class in Ballarat still has some vacancies.

In July, I am teaching at Quilt in the Winter School in Ballarat, it is  5 days of classes as well as meals and accommodation at Ballarat Grammar, which is a beautiful school.

Having a 5 day class is quite unusual for quilters but it is a much more common occurrence for textile artists. I think it is a wonderful opportunity because it is very hard to include much content in 2 day classes and virtually impossible in a one day class because hand work is so much slower than machine classes.

As well as learning all the basic crazy stitches we'll have a chance to learn the less common and more intricate stitches. I am looking forward to covering design and colour and hoping to encourage everyone to find their own artistic voice instead of having to follow patterns all the time. It will be a very exciting opportunity and I am looking forward to it.

Bye for now,

I love both of these images so much, that quilt is just stunning. Wish I could see it in person at your class!

Thank you Jen, it is always lovely to see work in person rather than photos which is why I have enjoyed being part of the Round Robin. I get to see other peoples work up close.
