Next Workshop:

Layered Landscape Fabric Collage

Sunday, June 26, 2022

10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Meri Henriques Vahl

(The June 12 workshop is full.)

Open up a whole new world of artistic possibilities withthis playful and fun technique.  No fusing or sewing machines necessary for this one day class.  Just bring your favorite photograph for inspiration, scissors, lots of straight or safety pins, fine BLACK tulle (other colors as desired), and fabric to make your vision come true.  In addition, you can bring embellishments, such as yarn, lace, feathers, etc.(see the supply list).  You’ll also need a piece of backing fabric and batting of the same size – and you’re all set to go!  In addition, I’ll demonstrate how I create people for my quilts, and I’ll show you an easy way to add borders so you can make an art quilt of any size.  Come play with me!

The cost for the workshop is $35 for PVQA members, $55 for non-members. 

Workshop will be held at Temple Beth El.

Masks required.
