October Program and Workshop Info
Tuesday, October 7, Lecture
Colleen’s quilts are distinctive for their illusion of depth. Objects such as leaves or planets appear to float above a two-dimensional surface. Her goal is to encourage the viewer to look into rather than just at the quilt. Her lecture will showcase the tools she uses to create the illusion of depth.
In the past two decades, Colleen’s quilts have won a host of awards. Her quilts are featured in The Best Contemporary Quilts: Quilt National 2001 (Lark Books, 2001) and Art Quilts: A Celebration: 400 Stunning Contemporary Designs by Robert Shaw (Lark Books, 2005). She is the author of Casting Shadows: Creating Visual Depth in Your Quilts. Colleen has been a guest on Alex Anderson’s popular TV show Simply Quilts. Colleen joins us from the Seattle, Washington area.
