Creativity is a constant cycle. We play, we edit. In this workshop, you'll experiment and, yes, "play" with ways to build up layers of fabric using quilting, stitching, appliqué, rearranging, deconstructing, and collage.

Kay Khan | Unmasking |
Participants will begin every day by making at least two 12" square flat panels of thick quilting, using the technique Khan developed and uses in all her work - she quilts first, before stitching any imagery or patterns - the opposite of traditional quilting. These panels are the structures that will function as prepared canvases and be used for experiments. Participants will cut parts out, reconfigure them, and, although in this class they'll be working in two dimensions, they'll start to add three-dimensional elements. Directed exercises will constantly transform the artwork & challenge the participants, as some of the panels will be completely altered. As participants learn new approaches, each will begin to use them in an individual project.
Kay Khan | Flicker
Rather than making a finished work - time forbids, and experiments must continue - participants will discover unexpected combinations, learn new techniques, and begin something magnificent.
PLEASE NOTE
Workshop participants will learn the techniques necessary for building a
three-dimensional vessel, but will NOT be working on one in this workshop.
Participants will need to have experience with sewing
and bring their own sewing machine.
