VALEC101 - Keep It Simple, but Pack a Punch
6 pm, Wednesday, February 26
A PowerPoint lecture presentation demonstrating the idea that quilts do not need to be complex to be compelling. I share my thoughts on how to choose great fabrics and simple designs to create amazing quilts. I show some works by artists who have inspired me, and I also talk about how my growing up in Japan has informed my work. This is a great lecture to take in before taking my class by the same name.
