***CANCELED***Brigit Dermott Playing with Shapes Workshop

Note that this workshop has been canceled. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

In this six-hour class, students will create improv quilt tops using basic shapes including half-square triangles, half-rectangle triangles, flying geese, and drunkards path. Students will arrange these shapes to tell a visual story. We’ll discuss working with scale, color, and negative space to create a harmonious design, and look at examples of designs that feature arranged shapes for inspiration. Students will sew shape blocks, spend time playing on the design wall, and start piecing their quilt tops. Each student will finish class with a unique design and all the blocks needed to complete their project at home. Students should know how to piece basic shapes as the focus will be on designing and piecing the quilt top.
