Saturday, March 6, 2021 — 10 am - 1 pm and Saturday, March 13, 2021 — 10 am - 1 pm
Maria is offering her workshops virtually from her beautiful studio in Alaska.
In this class, we will be exploring a variety of ways to use line (strips of fabric) to create shape (quilt blocks). We will experiment with cutting without a ruler as well as explore ways to use your ruler that give the illusion of free form cut fabric. We will discuss how to take these linear blocks and build final compositions. I will begin the workshop with a lecture that includes samples of my work and student work as well the techniques needed to create linear blocks. https://mariashell.com/classes/
