WKS 101: From Watercolor to Quilt - (2 days) Wednesday and Thursday, May 18 & 19,
2022, 9 AM to 4 PM
$240 ($220 GVQC Member)
Abstract
watercolor
paintings
will
be
created
the
first
day
using
10
different
painting
techniques
that
will
leave
the
student
with
several
paintings
to
work
from.
Techniques
include
transparent
layered
shapes,
tape
resist,
rubber
cement
drawing
resist,
washes,
glazing,
dropping
in
of
colors,
surface
treatments
using
soap
bubbles,
rubbing
alcohol
and
grids,
etc.
One
painting
will
be
chosen
and
cropped
to
find
the
most
dynamic
part.
This
will
be
drawn
to
make
templates,
then
enlarged,
and
translated
with
fabrics
into
a
quilt
using
either
my
turned
edge
technique
or
the
student’s
preferred
technique.
When
the
quilt
is
done
it
will
look
like
a
watercolor painting. No painting experience is needed.

WKS 201: Artful Log Cabins - (2 days) Friday and Saturday, May 20 & 21, 2022, 9 AM to 4 PM
$240 ($220 GVQC Member)
T
he
log
cabin
block
is
so
very
versatile,
we
will
use
that
as
the
basis
for
creating
linear
abstract
art
quilts.
Start
with
a
painting
or
photograph,
crop
that
to
a
strong
personal
composition,
and
overlay
a
grid.
This
can
be
an
even
grid,
an
uneven
grid,
curved
or
random
grid.
This
linear
drawing
is
laid
over
the
inspiration
photo
or
painting
to
become
the
map.
Then
log
cabins
made
up
of
the
colors
found
in
each
unit
of
the
grid
will
be
constructed
and
then
put
together
to
make
the
quilt.
Emphasis
on
composition,
variety,
color, value and visual pathways.
