Susan Brubaker Knapp

Create a vibrant art quilt using simple imagery, acrylic paints and stencils. You’ll paint and stencil in class, and take a small quilt top home to quilt. Students begin one or two original projects, learning how to work with acrylic paints to create a background, then stencil pattern onto the background and then paint around their imagery. Susan will bring some imagery and stencils you can use, or you can bring your own. We'll also talk about how to free-motion machine quilt your piece. NOTE: No machine work.

IMPORTANT: While some supplies (like paint) are included in the class fee, you still need to bring some supplies with you. Please download the supply list in PDF format here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1og_QCzjaO9PxMAaAEA3c5etl9No2IlcO/view?usp=sharing – it contains more information, samples, and a list of supplies you need to bring. If you have problems downloading it, just e-mail me and I'll send it to you directly.

LOCATION: Old Murphey School, 3717 Murphey School Road, Durham, NC. Triangle Fiber Arts Guild, Classroom #3

ABOUT OLD MURPHEY SCHOOL: The classroom is in a restored early 1900s school building, with parking in the front gravel lot. We will take a half hour break for lunch. Please bring your own lunch and drinks/water bottle, as there is no nearby fast food. There is a refrigerator for lunches. The classroom has folding chairs with padded seats; you may be more comfortable sitting all day if you bring an additional cushion. Consider bringing a light sweater, if you tend to get chilly in air conditioning.
