Join teaching artist Kimberley Pierce Cartwright for a hand sewing art quilt workshop, inspired by the African American history, landscapes, and textures of Historic Stagville. 

In this class you will learn how to use your fabric stash to put together a complete art project in a few hours start to finish. We’ll brainstorm designs to create together, make our own patterns and hand-sew art quilt projects. We’ll talk about composition and color; visit the landscape and artifacts of Stagville; and each student will design an 8 x 10 art quilt that can be framed.

This is a 2.5 hour class.

Attendees are expected to make a suggested donation of at least $10 to the Historic Stagville Foundation. Your donations support all of Stagville's events and programs!

Registration required at the link. You will recieve an email confirmation of your reserved space. Space is limited for this workshop.
