Sessions

Workshop

Drawing Textiles: Quilting for Illustrators
Wednesday, July 10, 8 –11am

What can illustrators learn from quilters? In this workshop we will look to both traditional and contemporary textile artists to teach us about color and composition, pattern mixing, and working with constraints. We will touch some quilts, look at even more, and practice interpreting and depicting textiles with a variety of mixed media. No sewing skills required - we will be drawing quilts, not stitching them! This workshop is for drawers and designers interested in exploring the possibilities of using quilts as visual metaphor, narrative device, or decorative inspiration. We will discuss how quilting and illustration can be complementary, and the benefits of nurturing interdisciplinary creative practices.
