TEACH AND LECTURE SCHEDULE
Independent and Virtual Workshops
Since October 2020, I have been offering Independent Virtual quilt workshops from my studio to yours. Each of these workshops consists of four LIVE three hour long ZOOM sessions that are recorded. Workshops consist of lectures, demonstrations, free-writes, studio visits, and one on one consultants. I would love to have you join me. All sessions are recorded and available for students to review for approximately 45 days after the workshop ends.
I also teach virtual events in collaboration with festivals and other quilt gatherings.
