This course is a supportive class for improvised projects on varying scales, suited to help students pursue a project of their own design. We will investigate improvised practices and explore the journey of this type of quilting while learning how to give the process of creating a supportive structure. The six weeks will center on the student discovering their own personality as a quilter, particularly as an improviser, and find confidence there. The aim of this course will be to help students build an understanding and relationship with their own quilting personality. They will learn to set strategies for their process while also learning to cope with the evolutions and shifts that come up in the work. Students will also learn how to share work and get feedback from other students and build community in making.

Quilting is as much about the process as it is about the finished quilt. It is an exercise in exploring one's relationship to navigating entropy: finding narrative and pattern in chaos. Playing with how many possibilities and pieces and colors and textures are before you and empowering oneself to make decisions and be flexible to change.
