Composing with Line Workshop

Weekend Itinerary Day 1 – Thursday, October 25 Explore the beauty, simplicity and complexity of line in this weekend design class. We’ll start with the basic principles of linear design and analyze quilts to see those principles in action. Jacquie will lead you through a series of exercises to ground you in the fundamental principles and as the weekend progresses you will apply those principles to create original designs. Students will work with Jacquie and each other in a fun, collaborative environment to explore linear design, piecing techniques and the elements and principles of design. Students will create one or more small pieces that may serve as seeds for further explorations and larger pieces. Composing with Line with Jacquie Gering October 25th - 28th 2018 Kansas City, Missouri $795.00* The weekend begins with a bus trip to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
