Collage Quilt Technique
I teach an introduction to collage class ( “Scissors” class) and the advanced Freestyle/Organic Color Collage class. The "Agamy" Stripes workshop has just been added as a new workshop.
Scissors
This workshop takes 3-4 hours and is introducing students to collage. It's an entry level collage class, great for every level. Many students in the class have expressed that this class has changed the way they look at fabrics and color. It has a lot of detail and is at the same time very free and creative. It’s about finding flows in color, going from dark to light so that in the end it looks like it is a unity, In 3 hours students probably won’t finish the scissors but have learned the skills to do this at home.. Most students are getting about halfway, some further, some less.
Students are being asked to bring their own fabric in their personal choice of colors, but kits of additional fabrics will be available for purchase as well. A maximum of 30 students can be in the class, as I am trying to give each student personal attention.
I will teach this class on September 13, 2024 at the European Patchwork Meeting in France.
"Thank you so much for a great class! As a former teacher, it was fun to watch you teach, encourage and gently guide students into taking risks with their work." -Linda, September 2023
"Agamy" Stripes Workshop
In this workshop students are doing a different kind of collage. Working with solid colors only, it is about creating a wall hanging with movement and dimension in the style of the sculptor Yaagov Agam. The class will take 4-6 hours and students will have made a good start of their project at the end, enough to finish independently. The workshop is all about making the design. Suitable for every level, but students need to be able to cut .5” pieces of fabric precisely. Students can bring their own solids (optional kit is available) but a kit for background and fusible is necessary for workshop.
I will teach this class at Houston Quilt Festival in 2024. The exact date will be announced later.
August 17, 2024 will be the date for an Open Studio Day Agamy Stripes. Contact me for more info or to sign up.
Freestyle/Organic color collage class
This class is an advanced class in color collage. No longer is there a pattern or design to follow. It's all about grouping and blending fabrics together so that the colors will create a design. It's almost like painting with fabric, very open and unrestricted.
The class is a full day class and requires a lot of scraps. It's not for someone who is just starting to quilt. Students are being asked to choose either a warm or a cool color way and bring at least 150 scraps (can be as little as 1” x 1”). Also, having taken the Scissors class or having otherwise experience with collage is required. More detailed information will be provided when booking this class. The class can hold a maximum of 30 students as I want to give everyone personal attention. Sewing machines are not needed, but instructions about finishing options will be given. Contact me for more information!
The next class open to the general public will be at MAQ in Gettysburg, PA from June 27-30, 2024. Students will be fortunate as this class will be two full days! It's wonderful to have so much time together. Such a unique opportunity!
I will also teach this class in France on September 12, 2024 at the European Patchwork Meeting.
An entire day class is also scheduled for Houston Quilt Festival 2024. The exact date will be announced soon.
Open studio days
After the publication of my Abundance quilt, some people asked me if it was possible to get a private Organic Color Collage class. I started offering classes in my studio! If interested your name can be on a waitlist. People on the waitlist will also be the first students for a next possible class.
Students don't have to bring anything. It is a full day of collaging with access to all my fabrics and supplies. Contact me for more information or to sign up.
August 17, 2024 will have an Open Studio Day for the Agamy Stripes Class. This will be an all day class. Please contact me for more information or to sign up.
I have been remiss is writing to tell you how much I enjoyed spending the day in your wonderful studio. The class was beyond awesome! Thank you for the opportunity to live in your color world for the day .

Lectures
I give talks to quilt guilds about the latest trends in color and design, with many samples. A lecture is 1-1.5 hour with room for questions and conversations. A guild can contact me if they like to book a date for a lecture.
