October 15 - Pat Pauly "Four Square WorkShop"

We will look earnestly at how to zero-in on the graphic nature of a selected photograph and use this as a starting point for the quilt design. Using a square section of the photograph as our basis, we will “slash and burn” to build a quilt from that starting point. Not a technique class, this workshop focuses on composition, how to read elements for line, contrast, repetition, and value. You will be using the skills that you have; no special talent required, and if there is time, we will introduce some new ideas for working.
