About this Event
About the Artist:
Daliah Silver is a quilter, garment sewer, knitter, banner maker, and everything in between, focusing on hand made, hand stitched, folk based art and craft using second hand or recycled materials. She is the founder of the Chicago Textile Center.
Over six classes, participants will build skills such as colour theory, composition and texture, applique, and hand quilting as they each design a quilt top that reflects their own personal narrative.
This hands-on machine-free course is open to all skill levels – no matter your sewing experience, you will leave with a one-of-a-kind quilt!
Materials required: Each participant will need to provide a sheet or large cloth to serve as the base of their quilt top (cotton is best). Students are welcome to bring in fabric of personal significance as well as scraps to incorporate into their quilts or share. We will also have access to the extensive fabric resources at The WasteShed.
This class will take place over 6 weeks, starting January 18th through February 22nd, meeting every Sunday from 1pm to 3pm.
