Course Instructor - Rosemary Royston

Course Fee - $25.00

What do quilting and poetry have in common? Quite a lot, actually. In this class, poet Rosemary Royston will take participants on a journey that celebrates poetry, quilting, and their kinship. In each class, we will examine quilts, how they were created, and how the process mirrors poem-making. This is a time to enjoy things of beauty and see the connectivity of creative processes. For those who want to flex their writing muscle, optional prompts will be provided, and all quilters are welcome to hand-sew during class.
