September 2024 - Patterns & Prints - Maria Shell

Refunds: There are no refunds. Contact the organizer for information.

In this workshop students explore the basic concepts of how to piece prints—stripes, pointy shapes, polka dots, and plaids are all simple pieced prints. From there students will move into more complex piecing exercises where they research patterns and prints that resonate with their own individual artist aesthetic and attempt to discern methods for piecing them. This workshop takes patchwork piecing to a whole new level that encourages students to develop their own patterns and prints.

Maria Shell’s work is grounded in the tradition and craft of American quilt making. She strives to take the classical components of a traditional bedquilt and manipulate them with the hope of creating surprising combinations of pattern, repetition, and color for the viewer.

Maria is the recipient of a Sustainable Arts Foundation 2011 Winter Award, a Rasmuson Foundation Project Award and two Rasmuson Fellowships.
