In this two-hour workshop, Remixed exhibition artist Sabrina Gschwandtner will introduce quilting processes that can be used to interpret photographs. Participants will learn about the artist’s technique of combining photography with quilt-making, and how her work explores shifts between photographic realism and abstraction. Participants will then use museum postcards and brochures, or their own photos, to hand sew photo-based quilts using an iconic quilt design pattern. Bring at least ten 4 x 6–inch photographs if you wish to incorporate specific imagery. Sewing materials, museum postcards, brochures, and 4” x 6” photographs for those who do not have a personal collection will be provided

Enjoy a glass of wine and a relaxed creative afternoon.
