SUMMARY:02/26-27/26 - Abstracting from Reality Workshop by Lisa Flowers Ross
DESCRIPTION:Lisa Flowers Ross has agreed to teach a two-day “Abstracting from Reality” workshop for us from 8:45-3:45 on Feb. 26 & 27\, 2026. The workshop will be held at the Idaho State Archives building\, 2205 Old Penitentiary Rd.\, Boise\, 83712. \nLisa Flowers Ross is a celebrated textile artist who creates colorful\, modern\, contemporary art. Because Lisa is local\, we have the unique opportunity of being able to host this design workshop at less than half the cost that it has been offered elsewhere! \nLisa describes her “Abstracting from Reality” workshop this way:\n“Exploring different perspectives will lead to discovery of new ways of seeing. The focus of this workshop is to learn various approaches to abstraction that can be used in designing future artworks. \nUsing their own photos for inspiration\, participants will work through several exercises on paper that explore design elements and principles such as line\, shape\, repetition and value. Different ways to translate these elements into fiber will be discussed.\nParticipants will leave with a mostly completed project using either fused fabrics or collaged papers. Hand stitching may be worked on in class\, but any machine stitching and finishing will need to be completed outside of class.” \nTicket sales will open on Oct.1st and are limited to members of the Boise Basin Quilt Guild until Jan. 1st. On Jan. 1st\, the general public is invited to register for any remaining spots. The registration deadline (and the last day to request a refund) is Feb. 21st \nSupply List: \nParticipants will do several exercises on paper before working with chosen material for their individual project. \nSupplies to bring for design exercises:\n– pencil (regular 2B)\n– eraser\n– paper scissors (please do no use your fabric scissors for paper)\n– stapler\, if you have one\n– staple remover\, if you have one \nPhotos to bring:\nBring several color or black & white photos printed out on paper with image size at least 5″ x 7″ up to 8″ x 10″ (They don’t have to be super high quality\, as long as you can see the photo and some details). Photos of landscapes\, cityscapes\, architecture\, interiors\, plants\, nature or objects will be the easiest to\nstart with. It will be good to have a minimum of 5-10 pictures (more gives you more options). You might want to bring a variety to chose from so that you don’t have photos that are all landscapes or all\nflowers\, for example. \nIndependent Project Supplies:\nFirst we will work on paper exercises together. Then\, students will apply the exercises to their own project. For the individual project\, students will use one of their photos as inspiration to create an abstract design. This piece will be approximately 9 x 12″. Students will choose to create a fused fabric piece OR a collage with colored papers. I recommend bringing solid colored cotton fabrics or papers (see notes below)\, so that details can be added later with\nstitching (or markings on paper). \nIf you choose to make a fused fabric piece for the independent project\, you need to bring: \n\n a selection of pre-fused solid colored cotton fabrics. (Iron fusible webbing to the back of the fabrics.)\nSmall prints that “read” as solid may work as well.\nTighter weave fabrics are better\, as they do not fray as much.\nBe sure to bring a range of values from light to dark. The colors do not have to be realistic to what you have in your photos.\n*Please make sure fabrics are fused and ready to use.\n\nWe will not spend time in the workshop preparing the fabrics. The fused fabric will not be used until the second day. So if you are local\, you can wait to\ndecide what colors to bring after the first day\, if you like. \n\na piece of fabric or batting for the base on which to fuse your design\, at least 13″ x 16″. If you want\nthe base fabric color to show as part of your background\, then bring several colors to chose\nfrom. Otherwise\, a white or neutral color is fine.\nfabric scissors\nfabric marking tool (i.e. fabric pencil\, chalk pencil)\n\nOR if you choose to make a paper collage piece for final project\, you need to bring: \n\na selection of solid colored papers. Papers that have small prints that “read” as solid may work\, too.\nSuggestions: scrapbook papers\, construction papers\, art papers\, found papers\, painted papers\,\nmagazine papers with solid sections that can be cut out\na sturdy backing paper on which to glue your pieces\nBring a selection of at least 3-5 colors for this\, if you choose to let the background show. If you\nplan to cover the entire background with the cut out papers\, then the color of the support paper\ndoesn’t matter.\nyour favorite adhesive to attach papers\n(I will provide a glue stick but you may prefer to use Elmer’s\, scrapbooking glue or dots\, etc.)\npens\, markers\, colored pencils\, etc. to add details if you choose.\n\nSupplies the instructor will supply: \n\nblank white paper\nmaterials for value studies\n“view finder”\nglue sticks\ntracing paper\n\nIf you have any questions about supply materials\, please feel free to contact me at\nlisa@lisaflowersross.net. I look forward to working with you!\nLisa Flowers Ross \n

SUMMARY:Beginning Collage (Laura Heine's Method) - Jenny Satterthwait - Workshop 03/21/25
DESCRIPTION:This class is taught by Jenny Satterthwait. \nCost for the workshop is $40.  Refunds for cancellations may be requested until Feb. 21st. After that date\, registrations become nonrefundable . . . and any remaining openings will be made available to nonmembers. \nChoose any of Laura Heine’s Teeny Tiny Collage patterns to jump into the colorful world of collage and create your own one-of-a-kind work of art. This class will explore your creative side and is a perfect way to learn collage basics. Warning: You will never look at fabric the same way! Tip: The Sewing Machine is such a fun beginning collage project that can be made to your personal unique specifications. All Teeny Tiny patterns come with 3 different projects. \nSupplies Required:   \n– Laura Heine Teeny Tiny Collage Pattern \n\nNote: You can find patterns at a lot of quilt stores. I know Quilt Crossing carries several. You can also buy the patterns on Etsy. One of the easiest ways to collage\, however\, is to go to Laura Heine’s website: www.fiberworks-heine.com and purchase a pattern and a fabric kit made for the pattern. You can purchase other supplies at Fiberworks but\, to be honest\, you will pay a premium.\n\n– Fabric listed on Pattern. These are small projects so you will not need large pieces. Scraps are perfect. If you are buying fabric for your collage\, you do not need more than 1/8 yard. Some shops have small cuts or scraps of fabric that are very inexpensive and perfect for collage! We will not have access to a quilt store during class so if you pick out your own fabric\, brings lots of choices. If you are able\, I do recommend buying the kit on Laura’s website. \n– Pattern Ease foundation (if it is listed on chosen pattern)  You may or may not need the pattern ease depending on how you finish your collage. For example\, if you collage your subject and decide to put it on a whole piece of fabric\, you will not need he pattern ease. Collaged or tiled backgrounds need to be done on pattern ease. At the end of the day\, it is easier if you have it so you have choices. Available at quilt stores\, JoAnns or Walmart. \n– Steam a Seam 2 yardage per your chosen pattern; I recommend the12” wide (which is easier to work with than the 18” or 24”). Please do NOT buy Steam a Seam 2 Lite and do not substitute another kind of fusible; it does not work as well. I will bring extra Steam a Seam 2 to class in case it is needed. SAS2 is available at quilt stores or online. \n– Karen K Buckley Medium Perfect Scissors (Blue Handle). Please note that this brand of scissors works really well with the Steam a Seam 2 and the serrated scissor edges help cut down on frayed fabric edges. If you bring a different pair of scissors\, make sure they are not too big. You will be cutting some delicate lines. Again\, these are available at quilt stores or online. \n  \n– Applique Pressing Sheet 17 x 24. This sheet will be used a lot while you are fusing fabric. You should not fuse fabric without this at any time. \n– Precision Fusing Mat 17 x 24 (this mat comes with a pressing sheet)  Side note: I LOVE THIS MAT!!! We will build our collages on this mat so it is imperative that you have it or a pressing sheet that you can see through. These mats are available on Amazon\, Quilt Stores or online at Wal-Mart. \n– Stiletto\, Purple Thang or Tweezers \n– #2 Pencil and Fine Tip Sharpie \n— Notebook and Pen for taking notes \n– Phone for taking pictures or Reducing Glass (Door Peephole from a hardware store) \n Optional but helpful supplies: \n\nTravel Iron and Wool Pressing Mat. Please note that it may not be possible to plug this in at your table because the venue may not have outlets near the worktables.\n\nRequired Pre Class Prep: To be fully prepared for class\, you will need to fuse some of your fabric. Please call Jenny at 208/890-3525 to talk about your specific project and what you need to do to prepare.
