ACTIVITY

Spend the day exploring the endless possibilities of reverse appliqué with María José Durán.

María José will begin by presenting cross cultural context to reverse appliqué traditions, with a focus on the uses of the technique by the Hmong and Gunadule people.

Guided by global and historical inspiration, students will gain hands-on experience in creating appliqué motifs with up to three layers of fabric. María José will provide insight into appliquéd curves, invisible stitches, and the application of embroidery.

Deepen your understanding of this enduring quilt tradition and sharpen your design skills through conversation around, and practice with, color composition and adaptation of illustration.

This workshop is open to beginner and seasoned stitchers alike.
