The Stories of Quilts

Artist: Steven H. Hobbs

Type: Workshops / Residencies

Program Availability: In-Person

Description

This workshop will introduce the world of quilting to students. First, a brief discussion of the history of quilting and some of the ways quilts are used (wall hangings, lap quilts, beds, clothing. etc.) I will share some of my quilts for students to see and feel what quilts look like. I will demonstrate how a quilt is put together and introduce a small project that the students can make, emphasizing the idea of personalizing their quilt square. In the extended version of the workshop, we will make blocks using fabric with the goal of making a quilt that reflects the students’ stories.

Other themes also available.
