Learn to see architecture with the eye of a modern quilt designer! In this hands-on quilt composition workshop, students will explore how to take design inspiration from architecture for both piecing AND quilting. There will be a quick smartphone photography demonstration, including practice enhancing photos with a free app called SnapSeed. Learn the best settings to create more dramatic photos, and simple, striking compositions and; explore how framing, cropping, and composition work together for modern minimal design. Students will create paper photo collages as studies for modern abstract quilt designs. Students will leave with a greater understanding of architecture photography, how to enhance photos with their smartphone, and options for designing a unique, modern architecture-inspired quilt. This is a no-sew workshop.
