We the People Community Quilt Starter Workshop

NOTE THIS LOCATION is a smaller room in the library and limited space. In case you find this one is sold out, please note that we will schedule another Petaluma workshop in March.

We are creating a quilt to display a vision for a more perfect union, where liberty and justice for all is real for everyone. At a moment of rising fascism and accelerating attacks on human rights, democracy, and the environment, this project asserts a simple truth: the power belongs to the people.

Through this collaborative art project, we’re coming together to reflect what we value, what we hope for, and what kind of world we want to build together, and making it visual.

The Quilt Starter Workshops have two parts:

1. Project introduction, thematic brainstorming and technical and design information for completing your quilt panel. Participants that decide to join the project, will be provided a 29.5" square cotton muslin panel to use as the panel base. (~1 hour)
2. Open studio time to start patterning, designing and creating your panel (optional to stay for this, but it's the fun part-1 hour) We recommend you bring your own scissors to this part, if possible.

We plan to offer many Quilt Starter Workshops at locations in Sonoma County in February, March and April. We also would love to bring this workshop to your group. Contact us to inquire.
