ART QUILTS: HOLIDAY KITS
COLLEEN BLACKWOOD, INSTRUCTOR
Colleen will introduce quilters to the open-
ended world of art quilts, aka, creating
images from fabric. Students will develop
their own art quilt style as they choose
the techniques and approaches that most
appeal to them, and everyone will end the
day with a festive sampler perfect to display
at home or give as a gift this season. We’ll
work from a kit of holiday-themed fabrics,
but students are invited to bring in their own
fabrics as well. This will be an exploratory
journey; we’re expecting each piece to
come out totally different, and each student
to take away their own insights to use in
future pieces.
Bring your sewing machine, scissors,
needles and thread- we’ll provide fabric,
adhesives and embellishments.

PHOTO TRANSFER COLLAGE USING
GEL MEDIUM
NIKA BLASSER, INSTRUCTOR
Create a work of art from family photos,
magazines clippings, or any image that
inspires you- this is a great weekend project
for DIY holiday gifts! In the gel transfer
technique, translucent gel medium picks up
the ink from a printed image and transfers it
to a substrate, suspending the image in the
gel and allowing other elements, such as
drawing or painting, to be incorporated into
it. You supply the images, and we’ll supply
the tools and materials to get you going.
Nika will contact students before class
begins with specifi cs on preparing copies of
images to use for class.

VALUE PORTRAIT: BREAKING DOWN
LIGHT AND SHADOW ON THE FACE
NIKA BLASSER, INSTRUCTOR
We will start with a photo session using
high-contrast lighting to create a dramatic
black and white self portrait. Using this
photo we’ll break down light and shadow
into distinct values, essentially setting up a
paint-by-numbers to “map” light and dark
areas across the planes of the face. Your
fi nished painting will be a striking portrait
with a cool graphic art quality, and you will
understand light in a whole new way.
