Workshop & Instructor Information

Katie Pasquini Masopust

From Painting to Quilt

March 17 - 23, 2013

5-Day Workshop

All Levels

The first day of this workshop is spent creating abstract watercolor paintings. Katie leads you through 10 or more different design procedures, resulting in lots of paintings to choose from for the next step of the workshop. Painting techniques include, transparent layered shapes, tape resists, rubber cement drawing resist, washes, glazing, dropping in of colors, surface treatments (using molding paste, soap bubbles, rubbing alcohol) grids, etc.

One painting from the first day will be chosen and cropped to find the most dynamic part of the painting. From this, Katie shows you how to make a template for the painting quilt. The templates will be enlarged and then translated with fabrics using Katie's turned edge technique or any technique you would like to use. When the quilt is done it will look like a watercolor painting.

No painting experience is needed.
