The Association continues to welcome an exceptional group of guest speakers. One of the many benefits of membership is the opportunity to take workshops from top quilters in the industry. Workshop participation is limited to SCVQA members unless the class has not filled 30 days prior to class. Non-members are invited to sign up at that time if vacancies exist. Workshop prices vary by instructor and reflect actual costs.
For 2021 and 2022, all classes will be held virtually on the Zoom platform. An email with the link will be sent a few days before class.
Refer to workshop description for a more specific supply list.
For more information about workshops please contact Programs.
Registration
Registration begins 3 months prior to each workshop. Spaces in the workshops fill on a first come, first served basis and workshops usually accommodate 20 students. Any registrations received beyond 20 are automatically wait listed in the order they are received.
Non-SCVQA members are welcome to attend our workshops, but a $20 premium is charged. Non-members may sign up no sooner than 30 days prior to the workshop, to allow members priority registration for these special events. Why not consider joining SCVQA today?

August 2023: Jennifer Holden - Mini Bargello Sunflower Workshop
In this class we will explore the world of colour to create a colour run using light, medium and dark valued fabrics. The key to creating movement within the flower is the colour run and the placement of the fabrics within the Bargello.
Working with colour runs and strip sets you will create a Bargello run for the appliqué pieces rather than using just one piece of fabric for the appliqué. The Bargello with its movement and colour placement will give depth and dimension to the sunflower. Learn how to finish off the flower and add detail to each petal by using the technique of free motion zigzag.
A PDF supply list will be provided prior to class.
