We will begin by exploring several techniques for making drawings. We will make line drawings using crayons and markers. We will investigate digital formats such as Procreate and Photoshop and our cell phones.
You will choose your favorite drawing and make it into a large quilt! Learn methods for transferring a drawing to your design wall and various construction techniques to best capture the essence of your original sketch.
