Creativity for Klutzes

2 days - All levels

Are you stuck in a creative rut? Learn how to turn it into a groove.  After some simple and fun exercises, students will create one or two small quilt tops using a variety of techniques. The emphasis in this workshop will be on creativity, not technique. Be prepared to have fun!

Taught by:  Libby Lehman

Supply list

• One or two high quality magazines (American Craft, House Beautiful, etc.). We’ll be using the color images, so something like Time is not a good choice.
• Large tablet sketch paper
• Glue stick
• Sharp pencil and eraser
• Paper and fabric scissors
• Roll of freezer paper
• Black permanent marker (fine point)
• Straight pins
• Pencil
• Paper sack for trash
• Tape to attach sack to table

Fabric

• Fabric scraps for collage. Bring a variety of colors, values and scale.
• Three 14” squares for backgrounds. Solid or tone-on-tone prints work well, but don’t agonize over your choices. We’ll be making samples, not masterpieces!

Optional but very helpful

• THREADPLAY by Libby Lehman (That Patchwork Place, 1997)
• Cushion for chair (especially if you are short!)
• extra light
