wORKSHOP DETAILS

Nick was taught to sew, as a child, by his mother and therefore has a sentimental connection to sewing. His passion for quilting truly began in the early 90s and more. Recently he has become known for his innovative quilt designs and techniques that push the boundaries of what a quilt can be. He has experimented with various tools and mediums that would not generally be found in traditional quilting.
In more recent times, Nick has been sharing his passion for free-motion quilting through classes and workshops, encouraging other quilters to move outside their comfort zone and explore the freedom that it gives. Nick is an inspiring and patient teacher who understands the challenges that can arise when you try something new.

Landscapes with Rhythm

The sky has the potential to be the most exciting element to enhance and energise any landscape. With its endless capacity for change, it is the most flexible compositional tool that you can experiment with. I have found that whatever colour palette or style I choose, when I place the sky fabric in the position of the sky in my design, it will read as sky.

Rhythm is defined as a combination of elements repeated but with variation. In this workshop we will play with repetition and pattern, decorating our sky to add movement and interest. So, we have permission to play.

We will begin to create our skies by overpainting some interesting commercial fabrics and then decorate these areas with a series of repeated shapes. Once the sky is constructed and quilted, we will add our foreground with a number of techniques for creating landforms, areas of water, rocks, and trees outlined.

Size of class samples 80 by 60 cm.
