A New On-Demand Workshop…

Living Patterns: Totems & Robots!

Since I don't enjoy the conventional process of pattern-making - drafts and all that jazz - I decided to take a different approach. Instead of curvatures galore or a pattern with a hefty set of rules, this one offers structure without sacrificing freedom for exploration. 

This way you can fully exercise your creativity as much (or as little!) as desired in each piece produced from this pattern. 

And this is the big thing for me - choice. I like to have options when I am creating a quilt. Also, as mentioned, because I do not enjoy the process of drafting a pattern, I developed this one improvisationally. I know that’s not technically a word, but it should be!

Watch me create these two pieces...

Denim is the base for both versions, and you have so many options! It is not required for you to use the same fabric, and I talk about all of that during the workshop. I create the side panels for the blue and orange piece, and the other from start to finish.

You'll get goodies to play with in this workshop!

Downloadable templates to customize your palette, visual instructions and guidance on Procreate, plus two different side panel options – all demonstrated by me with tips 'n tricks sprinkled along the way. I also keep it real: mistakes included to make sure your experience is as fun and rewarding as possible!

And the best part is that you will have access to this course as long as I am around and in business! You can come back to it, change it, make a smaller version, and so much more. 

I am a visual learner. I do not enjoy reading instructions. You might be the same! This is why I created this workshop.

I absolutely adore improv, and I believe that it is a form of expression that encourages people to think outside the box, challenge themselves, and create something all their own. It was important for me to create a pattern that might ignite a desire in you to consider the possibilities of creating with no initial plan. After following the pattern, you may decide to take some of the sections and parts, and create your own unique piece! This was designed in modular way, and I hope you’ll take the nuggets that I share and incorporate them into your practice…In your own way. 

What you will receive in this workshop:

  • Downloadable templates of the pattern for auditioning colorway options.

  • Visual instructions for how to play with color and value in Procreate.

  • Two different options for the side panels.

  • Guided instruction and and an abundance of tips and tricks every step of the way.

  • A private Community just for this course so you may ask questions and share your work.

I hope you will join me in my studio to create your own Totem or Robot! 🤩
