Quilt University
Our next Quilt University (QU) will be held July 26, 27 & 28, 2019

more Susan Purney Mark Class description: In this workshop we will learn to make and use thickened dyes as a base for printing with a silk screen. Thickened dyes do not change the hand of the fabric, allowing the fabric to remain soft and supple despite repeated applications, plus thickened dyes are transparent, so layers of dye will change intensity, value and colors, giving the artist a wide range of possible uses for their created cloth. We can also use soy wax as a mask on the screen adding even more possibilities to create amazing cloth. Kit Fee – $30 including dyes, alginate as thickener and chemicals, 2 printed fabrics for dyeing and soy wax for applying to the screen Find Susan at (click on each link): Website Blog Members: $75 + $2.50 credit card processing fee Non-Members: $90 + $2.95 credit card processing fee See the complete GAAQG Workshop Registration/Refund Policy for more information.

more In this workshop, we begin (or continue) to train our eye to notice hue, color harmony, and balance. We’ll learn about color theory, exploring classic color palettes and how to build them, and go through several exercises that will literally train our eyes to distinguish subtle differences in color, value, and saturation. We’ll also learn how to mix and match prints, playing with color and scale to create totally unique and beautiful looks. This workshop is very hands on, concrete, and fun. It is appropriate for quilters who have no idea how to use a color wheel and only ever use precuts; as well as quilters with a great eye for color who are looking to create more interesting, dynamic palettes and develop a signature style (and everyone in between). Students will learn: -Color Theory basics Students will leave class with a tool belt full of new color skills, a more refined eye for color, as well as multiple fabric palettes they have put together using their signature color style.

Lecture by Lynn Carson Harris:
“Do it for the Process”
Lecture Description: Lynn will share some of her quilts and talk about her journey from the first quilt she made as a teenager in 1976 to her current work. She has found that the steps of making a quilt are often more meaningful to her than the completed quilt. Focusing on the creative process rather than the finished product allows her time in the studio to be filled with play and discovery.
This lecture follows the business meeting on Quilt Day.

CLASS FILLED
Appropriate level:
Beginning and Advanced, traditional and art quilters
Class description:
When using solids, the emphasis is put on the shape of each piece of fabric, according to Lynn Carson Harris. The lines and shapes become the focus of the quilt rather than the print of a fabric. The mood of the quilt is set by your piecing and color choice, not by a style of print. Working with free-form, improvisational construction, students will create their own original quilts using easy to learn design concepts and techniques. Check out Lynn’s gallery for inspiration!
Note – Lynn will have her book available for purchase, but it’s not required for the class. There are no pre-cutting requirements.
