Students will create complex and colorful geometric patterns
and motifs with accuracy using paper. If this isn’t enough fun,

for students to practice on including a Singer Featherweight.
This quilting process can culminate in a wide range of projects
like quilts, bags, and contemporary artworks.
$130/person. Register here.
Registration will close June 30 or when capacity is reached.
All sales are final.
