COURSE DESCRIPTION
Stitching Towards Discovery is a six month long seminar for students to actively work on new quilts and develop their own quilt aesthetic. Students are expected to complete a series of tasks that will empower them to do the following:
Create a small body of work—four to six large wall quilts
Develop a sustainable quilt making practice through goal setting and accountability in our Facebook community
Improve their ability to speak and present their work in a semi-public setting
We will meet approximately twice a month. Meetings will alternate between two formats. The Formal Sessions will include speakers, consults, discussions of prompts, and more. The Study Group Sessions will include an informal conversation hour, lectures, and consults.
