Our 2015 Winter Term St. Lawrence College course is all about exploring COLOUR-PLAY and enjoying the experience both together with classmates and in independent study. Demonstrations,
samples and hands-on study will include the use of contemporary
techniques to illustrate the extensive exploration and updating of
traditional processes used for centuries to colour fabric.

In class paint and dye work as well as use of colour wheel studies and building on the use of your personal stash of fabrics at home will take a thoroughly modern path.

Machine work as well as hand
stitch studies focusing on all new work are planned. Students wishing
to work within the guidelines of tradition may certainly work on quilt
projects, and those who are brave enough to experiment may go one step
farther to create new fabric in colors and dye patterns for use in their
personal and original designs for art quilts and wall art or wearables.
One particular focus will be an intense study of the MODERN QUILT movement including design and assembly techniques... with a goal toward using your designers eye to bring the fabrics you have in your stash to life as you develop all new wall and bed quilts that are lively, colourful and destined to be a delight for family an friends both at home and in exhibition opportunities.

We love to have
all new students in the course, and welcome returning students wanting
to work within the context of shared studio time with like-minded
friends. Every student will benefit from the focused classroom
creativity and shared techniques.
