Understanding Quiltmaking Workshop at Cloth Fiber in Asheville

March 24, 31 14   Cloth Fiber Workshop, 122 Riverside Drive, Studio D • Asheville, NC  - A Hands-On Approach to Understanding Quiltmaking in American Culture with Richard Caro,. This class strives to answer the questions: why do we make quilts the way we do and how do we understand quiltmaking culture?

While working with diverse fabrics, basic tools, simple block structures, and reading craft and quiltmaking research, you'll begin to identify and engage with the many approaches (material, social, commercial, spiritual, symbolic) used in quiltmaking. In-class hand sewing affords the opportunity for each quiltmaker to work on her or his own quilt-top while talking and sharing as a group and learning about quiltmaking in American culture. Level of Expertise: all levels. Fee: $145 + materials fee.
