please be aware of sudden changes

Remote Team Meeting

A pandemic addition to the program offered by Columbia Fiber Arts is continuing. A few times a year, CFG will arrange for speakers to present by Zoom. This offers guild members even more opportunity to explore ideas in fiber arts.

In 2025, there will be four Zoom sessions.

Attend these meetings from the comfort of your own home — or wherever you might be. They are included with the cost of your membership.

This talk goes deep into my process. I discuss color, inspiration and the various approaches I engage when doing this type of work. I'll share a variety of student work as well as a few other artists and discuss what I feel makes a piece successful. This is a fun talk full of eye candy!

It is difficult for most quilters to understand how much a drawing class can help their quilting. In this lecture, I talk about the concepts of drawing and how acquiring some basic knowledge can help all quilters. The concepts I will be discussing are:

• Line

• Negative Space and Positive Shapes

• Light and Shadow

• Perspective

In order for the audience to better understand how these concepts can help them, I will show slides of both traditional and contemporary quilts that illustrate a good use of line, negative spaces, light and shadow or perspective. These quilts are made by a wide variety of quilters from the USA and Europe.
