Workshops:
Workshop Landscape I
6 hours
With the help of a given landscape design the students will learn how to
design their own landscape. The background consists of an easy machine
piecing method. Raw edge appliqué and 3 - D embellishment are used for
details such as leaves, bushes etc. Stems and tree trunks are pieced and
thread painted. This workshop is a lot of fun for students, who enjoy
using their sewing machine and love to experiment with different
techniques and materials.
Workshop Landscape II
12 hours
In contrast to landscape I the students create their own design for a
landscape using their own photograph. The background consists of an easy
machine piecing method. Raw edge appliqué and 3 - D embellishment are used
for details such as leaves, bushes etc. Stems and tree trunks are pieced
and thread painted. Techniques shown in this class include couching,
embroidery with ‘sulky solvy water soluble’ and layering of fabrics and
slicing trough the layers. This workshop is a lot of fun for students, who
enjoy using their sewing machine and love to experiment with different
techniques and materials. In addition to workshop ‘ Landscape I’ the
students will have the opportunity to create their own design.
This workshop could also be taught in 3 days. More emphasis would be on
the designing aspect and on detail work.
Workshop 3D "GLowing Objects"
6 hours
The objects in this class are made in a reverse appliqué technique. The
first layer of fabric is machine pieced (raw edge appliqué technique) and
thread painted. Different shapes will be cut from the top layer of fabrics
to create an interesting view. Different embellishment techniques such as
couching and free hand motion embroidery will be shown.
The goal of the class is to motivate the students to create a 3 D objects
that are usually made out of a material like clay, glass or porcelain.
Workshop Maya's Tree Trunks and Crazy Patch
3 hours
A given tree trunk will be pieced and thread painted by each student.
Technical problems such as ‘shrinking’ and deforming of the tree trunk
while working will be addressed. The basics of my easy machine piecing
method will also be introduced.

The Travelling Quilter
(45 min slide show)
Using ‘Show and Tell’ the lecture illustrates how living in different
countries influenced my art work:
Depth And Perspectives
Depth and perspective in all their possible meanings take up a lot of room
in an artists life. This lecture is both fun and informative.
