Fabulous Design Workshop

Posted on by Jane

I participated in a great 1-day design workshop taught by Heather Jones, http://www.heatherjonesstudio.com/, last month! As a member of the Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild, I can take advantage of wonderful workshops and speakers throughout the year. Heather braved a snowy weekend in Ann Arbor (January 18-20) to visit Washtenaw Community College. I took her class on designing a quilt using a photograph as inspiration–we drew our interpretations of the simplified, distilled image for our quilt designs. It was most inspiring! and I recommend Heather as a teacher!!

This is my photograph that I studied.

I am an artist and teacher working with fiber, fabric, and mixed media collage. I love providing art instruction for all ages. I also teach Zentangle, a special, meditative drawing technique that focuses the mind and releases creativity. My Certified Zentangle Teacher training (2012) was made possible by a Chris Clark Fellowship award from the Arts Council of Greater Lansing. My mission is to guide others to an artFULL path.

  1. Have you started making your design or are you still in the abstracting stage? I have not started mine, but I was looking at it last night and am ready to begin! Shall I challenge you to get to a final design AND make something from it? Mine will NOT be a full size quilt, by the way!

  2. YES I need to translate my idea to fabric! I want to make it into a small wall piece but haven’t started yet. Hopefully I do it by the end of the year?!?!!? 🙂
