Members who attended the June 22, 2024 class only need to RSVP; no second payment needed
Create your own improv using a “build” process with colors you love! Lisa shares techniques from four fiber improv masters. Work with colors you love in as many gradations as you like. Use adjacent colors on the color wheel and add an opposite color for pop, or go black & white for a classic palette. Improv is great for large scraps and works with prints as well as solids. Freeform piecing poses challenges that Lisa will explain. You’ll be piecing curves and small skinny lines. Bring a design board so you can pin/tape you pieces on. I use construction foam board-most stores will cut to size.
