Class Description:

Circles can be found throughout the natural world and in human designs from diverse cultures across millennia. Circles appeal to us on so many levels – they are simple and elegant; they’re curved, organic, and smooth, with no sharp corners; they evoke a comforting sense of completeness and totality; they’re in the hugs that embrace us and the nests that protect baby birds. Circles are as familiar as the dot of an “I” or the period at the end of a sentence. They come to us in images of the Earth from space. Circles are as tiny as a subatomic particle and as large as a black hole. In this workshop, we explore and create a sampler or small art quilt of circular motifs in bead embroidery. Working with a wide variety of beads, we will learn, design, and stitch a diverse range of circular forms that could also be used in future stitching on art quilts, garments, and other fiber art.
