Join us for an inspiring 8-week journey into textile artistry, where we will stitch, layer, and compose fabric-based works inspired by the exhibitions at the Museum.  Through guided instruction in quilting techniques, fabric manipulation, and artistic composition, participants will develop their own textile-based piece while engaging with the rich textures and narratives of contemporary and historical art. This course is open to all levels and invites participants to explore the tactile beauty of fabric as an expressive medium.
