Class Description

Many small sewn-together compositions will be created. All work will be done in direct machine piecing. All fabric cutting will be done (preferably) without rulers. Fabrics of choice will be a broad palette of hand-dyed or commercial solids and values. Emphasis will be on geometric shapes.

Students will be given timed exercises that explore classical design concerns such as COLOR, VALUE, PROPORTION, SHAPE, CURVES, CIRCLES AND LINE RELATIONSHIPS. Lots of seed ideas will be generated. By mid-week students will work in their sketchbooks, analyze their small studies, choose their best ones and with further exercises, build on these ideas to generate new compositional studies. One-on-one and group critiques will be integrated into the class.

Do not come with an agenda! Be open to experimentation & working quickly!

Sewing machine required. Class size is limited.
