Duration: Type: Cost: One Day, Fri 10 Oct 25
Take a creative journey with Many Trips in a Colourwash, where the classic Trip Around the World pattern meets the beauty of colour blending. In this hands-on class, you’ll explore two techniques: fusible grid paper and strip piecing. You’ll create four sample blocks using the strip piecing method and learn how to use colour value, print scale, and helpful tools like a ruby beholder and green filter to achieve a seamless colour wash. With tips for cutting, sewing, and planning, you’ll leave ready to design your own colour-rich quilt in any size.
