Education
Teachers and Workshops
|
The Western Cape is home to many experienced quilt teachers. Classes and workshops given range from beginners to the more advanced and include various methods and techniques of patchwork and quilting. In a guild the sharing of knowledge is very important. In the Good Hope Quilters Guild we would like to encourage members to learn from each other but also to share their knowledge with other members.
TEACHERS' FORUM We have regular Teachers' Days where we meet for groups discussions, demonstrations and talks and share our experiences. Teaching skills, ethics, etiquette and copyright, etc are discussed. Any matters pertaining to teaching can be brought to the forum. Contact Marie du Toit 0832261183 or

Please make sure that you attend these demonstrations to gain some knowledge. The series Quilt: Pathways to the Stars was a project where “setting in” corners as well as 8 points in one spot were demonstrated. Fynbos 2010 1-3 October in Riebeek Kasteel Challenge packs for the competition will be available at the meeting. We think that out theme (to be announced at the meeting) will provide inspiration for wonderful original designs. Please make sure that you get your challenge pack at R70. Non members are also welcome to take part- the cost to them will be R80. If you would like to teach please apply providing us with information about the workshop and supplies needed, as well as info about yourself. Anybody who would like us to run a specific workshop- we will appreciate your input. Show and Tell For many this is the best. part of the meeting. Here we see wonderful quilts to inspire us and we also learn about new techniques, or see how different techniques are used. Please share with us your wonderful creation!
