Listed below is one of the exciting lectures coming up at the Festival !

From the time you enter kindergarten until you graduate from college, you are trained to think with only one half of your brain. But that analytical side needs to be balanced by your creativity in order to create art. This class will help you open up and use both sides of your brain, so that your quilt projects don't end up at the back of your closet unfinished, but instead end up on your bed or your wall.

Class Outline

The Easy Part: Structure
