Guest: Esterita Austin Lecture: Classic Rock /trunk show 1 hour power point/trunk show Join Esterita for a humorous look at her journey from her beginning art experiences to the present. This power point/trunk show zips along as it illustrates how she grew the seed of a concept into bold design themes. The focus is on the power of value over color in constructing dramatic compositions. With her generously dispensed tips, you’ll be inspired to run back to your stash and fuse your own thread of an idea into a WOW fabric composition.

You will be provided with a pattern and fabric kit to be taught an easy fusing technique that will add more creative tools to your fiber art repertoire.
Saturday, Jan 29, 2011 - Workshop: Creating the Illusion of Depth Creating the Illusion of Depth1 day no sewing machine all levels In this workshop you’ll train your eye and sharpen your design ability. Learn how to create the illusion of depth by working with three design elements: perspective, value and light source. You’ll learn an easy, no fail, technique of fusing. There is no accuracy with seam allowances, no points to match and no sewing machines. This is a loose technique that allows for greater freedom in construction. Build your confidence to go beyond the quilt surface into its visual depth.
