Workshops
We're offering 3 workshops for the 2023-24 season. Registration will open in September.
The Bold Curve with Tamara Kate - done
Date: Sunday, October 22, 2023
Time: 6 hour workshop, 10 am - 4:30 pm
Location: Nepean Centerpointe Library, Room 1B
Cost: 80$ for members / 100$ for non-members
Big, bold, colourful large scale curves can be so liberating to create! Incorporate a bit of improv piecing and the result is a dynamic, eyecatching, unique quilt that speaks volumes about the maker’s personality. Learn the techniques Tamara uses to plan, cut and execute this style of modern quilt (no appliqué involved) while interjecting your own creativity into the mix. We will also cover a bit of colour theory to achieve the look of transparency.
This workshop will be held in person.
