Students will explore surface design and learn the improvisational method of piecing as they create collages using fabrics from the Globe. This workshop is a plus for everyone who uses fabric for clothing, quilts, wall hangings, and pillows. The instructor will have available for inspiration unique fabric samples from her private collections.
All levels are welcome!
This artwork was created by over 400 hospitalized children, along with their families, caregivers, and the staff from the oncology unit of Yale New Haven’s Children’s Hospital under the guidance of renowned fiber artist Ed Johnetta Miller. Each person who participated was encouraged to bring pieces of cloth that held special meaning, such as beloved t-shirts or childhood blankets. They then cut up the cloth and created unique quilt squares that were all assembled together to create a one-of-a-kind quilt.
