Jane Davila

Layers of Meaning

March 27 - 30, 2010

All Levels

Working within a theme, Jane Davila guides you to create a series of small art quilts. Develop your theme using techniques such as direct and indirect inkjet photo transfers, block printing and found object printing. Explore the concept of personal imagery by creating your own motifs to incorporate into your work. Layer your compositions with collage and printing use quilting as the element of line, and end with a wide assortment of very unusual edge-finishing techniques.

Jane will be bringing an Epson Durabright all-in-one printer with her so that you will be learning and practicing the image transfer techniques hands-on with your own photos. She will also be bringing a number of interesting supplies that are for the use of the students, so it's a great opportunity to experiment with things you may not be familiar with without having to invest in those supplies before you're sure if you like them.

Jane Davila is the co-author of Art Quilt Workbook, Art Quilts at Play and her latest, Jane Davila's Surface Design Essentials, by C & T Publishing. She has also appreared on Quilting Art TV (Episode 500).
