If you have a collection of t-shirts sitting around waiting for a special project, this is the class for you! Together, this class will gently cut and piece together blocks made from your t-shirts, transforming them from a drawer-stuffer to a cherished memento. Students should bring their own collection of approximately 12 t-shirts (or 24 if you want to make a 2-sided quilt), which will be reinforced using interfacing, then arranged into blocks, and finally sewn together.  This class will be focused on learning the craft of piecing together the quilt, so the overall size of the finished piece will be a wall-hanging size. 

This class is designed for Women Only.

Break the rules of traditional painting in this high-energy, course. Designed for all skill levels, this hands-on class focuses on creative intuition over technical perfection as you dive into experimental techniques to build personal, multidimensional works. Over six weeks, you will master foundational underpaintings with gesso and vintage papers, build tactile dimension using found objects, and explore depth through fluid acrylic washes and inks. The journey continues with image transfer collage methods, expressive mark-making using unconventional tools, and a final week dedicated to unifying your unique composition.
