Presentation by Bobbi Baugh, an award-winning artist known for her fabric surface design, collages, and mixed media contemporary art.
Bobbi Baugh presents: Asking the right questions: What to do BEFORE starting the quilt
This presentation will focus on concept development. Refining ideas. Digging deeper. Attendees will be
encouraged to take a starting idea for a quilt and think about it in a more meaningful way. Next comes an
examination of using composition as a way to enhance meaning. Presentation will involve looking at and analyzing artwork, both Bobbi’s work and the work of other artists. Of course, when textile artists get together there is always an interest in technique and how-to. Bobbi will answer any questions about her own methods and procedures.
