Class Description
Join Christine CMC Bethea, a master creative whose works have graced prestigious venues like the Carnegie Museum of Art and Miami Art Week, for a unique and enriching fiber art experience. In this rare two-session workshop, you will delve into the world of improvisational quilt-making as you craft an abstract, dynamic textile piece using a diverse mix of fabrics, embellishments, and your own creative flair—transforming your ideas into a stunning wall hanging to wrap on canvas. Set for February 22 and March 22, 2025, come ready to explore the balance between structured techniques and spontaneous creativity. Christine invites you to embrace your artistic instincts, turning unexpected “mistakes” into innovative "opportunities" that reflect your personal artistic journey.
