Exploring Color & Shape: Pieced Fabric Collages
Amanda Nadig, Instructor
Date: Sunday, March 24, 2024, 9:30am-4:30pm Location: Education & Conservation Annex, 112 Morris Street, La Conner, WA Spend the day playing with shape and color in this hand sewing workshop. After looking at color and composition in Amanda’s quilts, you’ll select favorite fabric colors then quickly and intuitively choose fabrics that complement your color choices. Make creative decisions in a collaborative environment and enjoy a process of stitching your selected fabrics directly into quilt batting. While exploring color, we will learn how repeating a color can create a sense of balance and unity. We will consider saturation, value, and contrast as it can add interest in your work. Learn how adding black and white to your quilt can add space to balance out a busier part of a composition. Leave class with an amazing work in progress and more confidence in choosing fabric colors when beginning your next quilt!
Participants are welcome to bring a favorite piece of fabric to incorporate into their work (maybe an old garment or home textile?) but Amanda will be sharing a curated selection of fabric shapes in various substrates and textures that she has sourced second hand. Amanda Nadig is a textile artist who finds inspiration in keeping with and breaking away from traditions in quilting. Her hand quilted compositions explore colors and shapes sourced from secondhand garments and home textiles discovered near her home studio in Chicago, IL. Her two young children and her high school art students have a great influence on her work; she explores balance, embraces chance, and experiments endlessly in her artistic practice. She has a piece in the upcoming March exhibit, Shift Change. Download Material List Fee: $100 Member/$110 Nonmember |
