Explore creating landscape quilts with monoprint, paint, and layered textile collage!
Sue will guide you through techniques of monoprinting and painting on fabrics to create color and texture for use in your quilts. Because the paints are opaque, you can work on fabrics from light to dark of any color or pattern.
After instruction in fusible collage and landscape construction, she will also demonstrate how to print and paint the entire collaged quilt surface. Sue will provide you with just enough structure and give you room to improvise.
This class combines components from both of Sue’s workshops, Sewing the Land and Monoprint the Quilt to focus on expressing landscape from realistic to abstract. Two landscape quilts will be developed using different approaches, one inspired by a painting style, and another developed from a photo.
About Sue Benner
While pursuing a degree in molecular biology and a master’s in biomedical illustration, Sue Benner created her vision of the microscopic universe in painted and quilted textile constructions. Her early work propelled her to become a studio artist in 1980, working primarily in the medium that later became known as the Art Quilt. Sue began making landscape images from raw edges, selvedges, and other odds and ends from scrap bags. From there she has gone on to add other techniques and develop a large series of work inspired by wetlands and prairies in her childhood home state of Wisconsin.
