If you’re a quilter, or you’ve always wanted to be, come and be a part of a group that inspires, shares, challenges and encourages you to grow and learn all things quilting. We use modern conveniences like rotary cutters, rulers, sewing machines and precuts—as well as yardage, seam rippers and some hand sewing tools. Bring a project you’ve always wanted to try or need help finishing, or come ready to accept the challenge of a new class directed project. All levels of quilting are welcome.

What is the rule of thirds? Why are my images boring? Why does my friend take the same picture as I do yet hers looks better? In this class you will learn how to make a great image, not just take a photograph. We will focus on what constitutes a great image by considering composition, lighting and subject matter. We will also compare and contrast work by contemporary artists in order to understand how to develop our own unique statements as photographers.

Bring your digital camera (or portable device with camera) to this workshop.
