IAP Quilting Workshop In-Person
“Learn to Quilt”.
The class will be composed of 8 students, and will be open to those who can attend and have interest in passing on what they have learned in the Spring 24 semester and beyond to teach mini-quilting workshops.
It will meet 8 times at the Metropolis makerspace, for 2 hours at each meeting, and in those 16 total hours will bring students through the entire process of making a patchwork quilt: from the design stage of choosing a pattern and a palette of fabrics, through cutting, piecing, basting and quilting, making meaningful choices relating to technique throughout and seeing how those choices affect their overall product (which will be a large throw-size quilt, completed on the final day of the workshop).
Combining visual art and tactile handiwork, quilting is both an art and a craft, with a rich cultural and historical heritage—throughout the workshop, students will be exposed to many different examples of quilting technique from multiple eras and cultures, and encouraged to continue developing their skill as part of an ongoing practice of slow, mindful handcrafting.
