Katie Pasquini Masopust
For nearly 30 years Katie Pasquini Masopust has produced high quality contemporary art quilts that have been coveted and collected by a broad range of admirers. From her early beginnings as a painter dabbling in traditional quilt making, her work has evolved from structured Mandalas and mind-blowing dimensional pieces to very painterly landscapes and abstracts executed with the finest fabrics and most creative stitching techniques.
Katie’s easy, energetic manner has made her a very popular teacher and lecturer. When not in residence at her studio in Santa Fe she travels the world presenting her contemporary quilting theories and techniques to classes; not only in North America , but in Europe , the Far East, Australia and New Zealand. Awards and accolades have been numerous for Katie, culminating with her 2005 induction into a very select group of art quilt professionals who have earned the Silver Star Award presented by Houston Quilt Festival.
Workshop: Transforming the Still Life
We will work from an all white still life, transforming it in many different ways to learn about value, shadows, texture, highlights and different kinds of perspective. This is a drawing class but don’t be afraid if you can’t draw, that just makes it more abstract! We will learn how to draw together by learning to really see through blind contour drawings , cartoon drawings and painted drawings. We will add color, exploring many different color schemes and their impact. Several abstract drawings for quilts will be the end product of the first two days of class. In the 3 to 5 day class we will choose one of the designs, consider its color scheme and composition, enlarge the design and begin the quilt.
