Art Quilts: Creative Imagery Workshop

Nov 6, 10 AM - 5 PM Cloth Fiber Workshop offers Art Quilts: Creative Imagery with Norma Bradley. "Drawing "with scissors, you'll carve into colored fabrics to create form. Simple and intricate shapes will emerge allowing for personal authenticity and abstract ideas to develop.

Techniques for easy applique, carving with your scissors and integrating surface-design as an element of the design, will be emphasized.
