Virtual: Paper Peace Quilt
Virtual: Paper Peace Quilt
This class was recorded live, but is still available to watch! Once you register, you will get an invitation to the private Facebook Group in which the class lives!
Sometimes our country swells with unrest and aches with injustice. Sometimes we feel powerless to help and, in this quarantine, isolated from action. My hope is that art can soothe our weary souls, if only for a time. I believe in the strength of self-expression and in the therapy of creativity.
In this class, we will create a paper quilt. I will take you step by step through very open-ended art prompts and it will be fun to see how different everyone's turns out. Just in that, we are reminded to celebrate differences.
The look and feel of your piece will be determined by the choices you make along the way and the materials you have/use. Please join us, even if you don't have the exact things on the list. I think everyone can make this project.
In the group, you will see a collection of quotes that I've assembled. You can use one of those or bring your own.
