Masopust, Katie Pasquini
For 40+ years, Katie has produced high quality contemporary art quilts that have been coveted and collected by a broad range of admirers. From her early beginnings as a painter dabbling in traditional quilt making, her work has evolved from structured Mandalas and mind-blowing dimensional pieces to very painterly landscapes executed with the finest fabrics and most creative stitching techniques. Katie’s easy, energetic manner has made her a very popular teacher and lecturer. When not in residence at her studio in California, she travels the world presenting her contemporary quilting theories and techniques to classes; not only in North America, but in Europe, the Far East, Australia, and New Zealand. Awards and accolades have been numerous for Katie, culminating with her 2005 induction into a very select group of art quilt professionals who have earned the Silver Star Award presented by Houston Quilt Festival. As a prolific author, Katie shares her enthusiasm for the art of creative quilting through her numerous books, her many classes, and now as executive director of Alegre Retreat held at Gateway Canyons Resort in Colorado - a destination resort for quilting enthusiasts and fiber artists.

Distorting Still Life: Jumpstarting Your Creativity, #345103w

Color/Design
Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Truman Room
Masopust, Katie Pasquini
All Levels
$140

Create a whimsical still life out of fabric then cut it up to create an abstract rendition. Many painters lay down a “ground” color called an underpainting and that ground color then influences the colors of the overpainting, unifying the composition. You will begin by making a simple still life, creating a background, foreground, and simplified vase, and flowers against a contrasting foundation fabric. Katie will then show you how to cut up the creation to reassemble the parts, creating a grid-like construction. The results are amazing! Registration for this class includes show admission for Wednesday.
