a Zoom lecture by

Theresa Benson

Wednesday, January 14, 2026
7:00 pm to 8:00 pm (Arizona Time)

Theresa Benson doesn’t just teach techniques. She teaches people how to make bolder choices, smarter designs, and to make work they actually want to keep using a mix of traditional methods, digital tools, and wild creative freedom.

This class is designed to meet you where you are - and then shake things up! Whether you’re a lifelong artist, a quilting guild leader, a librarian building next-gen maker programs, or a creative explorer trying to find your spark again, you’ll find something here that sticks.

From raw-edge appliqué to AI-generated inspiration, every session is packed with practical skills, creative courage, and unexpected joy.
