Lecture by Sherri Lynn Wood: IMPROVISE! CREATING, QUILTING, & LIVING COURAGEOUSLY
Sherri Lynn Wood present a 1hr multi-media presentation. Improvisation is at the heart of living creatively. Music, dance, theater, drawing, cooking, conversation, play, child rearing, and even science benefit from the flexibility of mind that the improvisational process engenders. We all improvise every day. Sherri will present mind tools, tips and a fresh perspective on how to apply improv skills learned in life to patchwork – and vice versa! Includes classic African-American quilts in the improvisational style, time-lapse process videos, and quilts featured in The Improv Handbook For Modern Quilters.
This lecture follows the business meeting on Quilt Day.
