Discover the history of quilting in the U.S. in this eight week course studying the quilt’s evolution from a functional object of necessity to collectable fine art. This course will chronologically examine the history of quilting and introduce students to distinctive styles and practices that emerged as quilt making grew in popularity throughout the 20th century. Students will also discover quirky quilt stories, from the 1933 quilt kit loathed by competitors but loved by judges, to NASA Astronaut Karen Nyberg’s 2013 quilt block in space.
In addition to eight live Zoom classes, you will receive extensive resources for further readings and watching. Can’t make a class? No worries, classes will be recorded and made available for all class registrants.
