  Rust Dyeing
  

  Quilt Arizona! Lecture
  

  Linda Hopkins
  

  
  

  Friday, March 24, 2023

  1:oo - 2:00 pm

  Let me guide you through various techniques to create rust on muslin, cotton, velvet and silk. Rusted recycled objects are one way to transfer the rust but you can create rust on new objects and use these in your art quilts. If you desire a more uniform way to transfer the rust to fabric stencils can be incorporated. Many samples will be available to challenge your imagination.

  Quilt Arizona! Lecture
  

  Gale Carson

  
  

  Saturday, March 25, 2023

  10:00 -11:00 am

  Come with me on a journey to Thailand where I explored many things made by hand. My trips here was an unending source of unique, colorful and one of a kind fabrics and gifts made by hand.

  The explosion of colors was only overshadowed by seeing the process performed from the artisans. Not only will you see the products but get a sense of daily life in this beautiful country. You will see some of the textiles in person and different ideas of how to use them. These treasures will give all creators, artisans, artists, and designers the inspiration to create innovative and unique designs.

  Everything But Cotton

  Zoom lecture by
  

  Julia McLeod

  Thursday, June 01, 2023

  7:00 pm - 8:00 pm (Arizona Time)

  
  

  When quilters don’t have access to a stash of quilter’s cotton, what

  do they turn to?  In this one hour lecture, trunk show and Q & A

  session we will explore quilts – antique and modern – made of wool,

  silk, polyester and more. We’ll observe how the use of unusual

  materials gives rise to alternative construction techniques and

  design choices.

  The trunk show of Julia’s work shows what you can create with

  neckties, saris, kimonos and other unusual, ‘not cotton’ textiles.
