Using only two contrasting colors, learn how to construct the individual components used to make an improv Irene-style quilt. Discover how fun it is to make many types of stripes, triangles, squares and curves in new and original ways. You will take home a 20-24” pillow top, or mini-quilt, ready to quilt as well as all the techniques to jump into a full-size improv quilt.

Come spend two consecutive days with Irene Roderick. Class is in Studio 110, right next door to our main Studio. Price is $150 for both days. Book now. (Our refund policy is below.)

Learn how to let your sub-conscience and creativity drive you to make a unique expression of your individual aesthetic and process. Relax, play, let it happen, and see what comes out. Irene explains “I learned to quilt and accidentally discovered improvisational quilting, an intuitive, spontaneous process I call ‘dancing with the wall.’ The technique opened up a new-found creativity for me. This work is entirely intuitive and visceral.”

At QuiltCon 2020 Irene won first place in the Improvisation Category for her “Line Drawing Landscape”. 

This class is a pre-req for “Dancing With the Wall:” Take It To The Next Step. Class is held in Studio 110, right next door to our main Studio.
