THE MONTEREY PENINSULA QUILTERS GUILD
Quilters Workshops
Workshops are offered several times each year. MPQG’s goal is to offer members unique opportunities to learn new techniques and improve their quilting skills with some of the top local and international quilt teachers. Space is limited (generally 15-20 participants) and workshop attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis. Workshop prices vary by instructor and reflect the actual costs.

"ABSTRACT-A-LICIOUS" an online workshop
Saturday, January 16th
Time = 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM
ABSTRACT-A-LICIOUS
Abstraction: Freedom from representational qualities in art. Taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics.
Abstract-a-licious: Freedom from pressure or the need to make it real. Removing fear and the need for perfection in order to enlarge the artists essential joy in creation.
You've looked at abstract art with a little secret longing, haven't you? You love it, and some quiet part of you wishes you could make it, and another part is certain you'd have no idea where to begin.
Here's the good news, friend. You don't have to invent an abstract design out of thin air. Abstract-A-Licious hands you five simple, repeatable ways to spill out ideas that are yours alone, then teaches you to shape them with the real tools of design: line, texture, shape, value, and color.
We start small. We build one concept at a time. You bring a willingness to play, and I'll bring 25 years of teaching and a whole lot of encouragement. Doodles will be scribbled, eyes will be opened, and you'll walk away able to look at a blank page and know exactly where to start.
