About this Event
Class Description
Dresden plate is a fabric pieced together in a shape of a plate. It’s named after the town of Dresden in Germany, which became famous in the Victorian Era with its fine decoration of porcelain plates with colourful flowers, fruits, and foliage. The 'Dresden plate' became a very popular quilt pattern in the 1920s and 30s, a time when Dresden porcelain was also hugely sought after. The pattern is called by other names as well, including Grandmother's Sunburst, Friendship Ring, Aster, Dahlia and Sunflower, though these are rarely used these days.
If you would like to know more and learn how to make your own Dresden plate, come and join this session. By the end of this lesson, you will have made a Dresden plate to use in your future projects.
