QUILTED COLLAGE
with Laura Fogg
June 20-21
9am-4pm

REGISTER: pacifictextilearts.org
or Link In Bio

Create a small collaged art quilt on any subject that appeals to you. There are no patterns or prerequisites and this class is appropriate (and fun) for all levels of sewing experience. Use a photo of your chosen subject for inspiration, and translate it to an individualized freehand collage of fabrics, trims and embellishments. The elements can be glued, hand sewn or machine sewn together.

I’ve been an art quilter for 30 years, and show my work regularly in quilt shows, galleries and museums across the country. As a retired teacher, it’s the teaching aspect of quilting that brings me the most joy.

What piques your interest: Playing with color and patterns? Preserving memories? Telling your family’s history? Recording your travel adventures? Addressing important causes? Celebrating your garden, children or grandchildren? An accordion “book” made with textiles is a fun way to creatively express what makes your heart sing. We will turn 2-D pieces into 3-D artwork that will showcase your passion.

Mirka Knaster creates 2-D and 3-D art in a studio overlooking the Pacific Ocean. She stitches handmade paper and textiles gathered in Asia, upcycled from her closet, or saved from landfills, dyeing mostly with rust and indigo. Mirka teaches, writes an art blog, and is a board member of the Textile Arts Council and Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
