Quilts made in strong solid colors made by the Amish were the first quilts to be viewed as art. Of late, the dazzling assortment of new prints has justifiably attracted great attention and solids have been regulated to the back burner. This class is meant to be a reminder that solids have their own distinctive characteristics which shouldn't be overlooked by quilter's intent on doing original, abstract work.
Working with free-form, improvisational construction, students will create their own, original quilts using Gwen's easy design concepts and techniques. This design class is good for the beginning and advanced, traditional and art quilter. Come and join the fun as Gwen shows you her easy methods for creating your own original quilts.
Class will be held in the beautiful Hood Canal Vista Pavilion in Port Gamble overlooking Gamble Bay.
Alex Anderson recently recorded a video of Gwen's exhibit of her quilts from Abstract in Solids Quilts, you can view it here.
