Square! Member Exclusive Artmaking

Inspired by Shelburne Museum’s quilt collection, participants will explore the visual language of quilts through grid, repeated shapes, color, pattern, symmetry, and composition. Associate Conservator Awyn Rileybird will begin with a brief introduction to log cabin quilts and share detailed images of examples currently on display in The Dana-Spencer Textile Galleries at Hat and Fragrance. Awyn will then guide participants in cutting, arranging, and layering decorative fine art papers to create their own log cabin quilt-inspired square. This hands-on workshop draws on traditional quilt design but requires no sewing or previous art experience. All materials are provided, and participants will take home their completed paper quilt square. Participants are encouraged to visit the quilt exhibition before the workshop. Member-exclusive, after-hours program Ages 16+ No experience necessary All materials provided Limited registration $35 per Member.
