Fun in Our Classroom!
We are just wrapping up our first day of Lisa Walton's workshop here at eQuilter, and Sophie is here learning how to make a fused quilt. Dana is here (our customer service manager) and she brought the most awesome brownies! The rows of pink crab apple trees are just starting to bud out, so maybe by next week they will start to bloom under our Colorado sunny blue skies. Life is good!
One of the fun parts of this class was to see what other students have made in previous classes with Lisa. When artists get together and are given permission to experiment and play with fabric, it is amazing the depth and breadth of unique interpretations that come into focus by the end of the event.
For 16 years I belonged to a weekly figure painting group. We hired a different live model every week, we would set up our easels around the model, and proceed to put on canvas or paper... our own perspective. The best part was looking at everyone's work at the end of 3 hours. It is the same in a creative workshop where everyone has the freedom to choose the colors, fabrics, and design for their project. The inventive variety is just dazzling.
Everyone is an artist as a child, but often the passage of time strips away our creative confidence...and we have to start over as adults. My goal is to bring in classes and teachers who reconnect us to that innocent playful joy of creating. I really believe that it is a healing experience to strip away the barriers and play in that very pure place in our hearts. Playing with Color is one of the ways to connect with that subconscious or intuitive part of ourselves. For myself, I love working with Purple, then adding in analogous and complimentary hues. Playing with Purple is like meditation for me. Do you have a personal color that heals and energizes?
The Registration Page for the
Love Your Mother Contest and Exhibit is LIVE, but you have until the May 15 deadline to make a quilt and try for the top prize of a newly introduced model BERNINA 570 QE machine. The juried exhibit will premier in Houston!
sharing your Passion for Fabric...
