Deborah Boschert Small Stories in Fabric Five-Day Quilting Retreat
Creating original art is a powerful way to celebrate life’s meaningful moments. In this five-day retreat, you’ll explore what inspires you, uncover its deeper meaning, and learn to express it creatively.
You will create a series of small fabric collages inspired by photos, memories, or experiences. You’ll explore unique colors, shapes, lines, patterns, and compositions for fresh inspiration. Hand embroidery and machine stitching will enhance each piece, as we consider the pleasures and challenges of working on a small scale. You will also learn printmaking techniques to design original patterns on fabric to add richness and individuality to your work.
Deborah will guide and structure each step, while also allowing for personal choice and creative freedom. She’ll share tips on design, composition, and creating a body of work.
At the end of the workshop, we will mount and frame the collages so you leave with a finished piece you can be proud of.
