This 3-hour workshop explores harnessing the power of paper collage to design one-of-a-kind abstract quilts. This workshop explores: fragmenting text; tools to isolate and highlight areas of interest; playing with enlargement, exaggeration and distortion; converting 2-tone designs into colour; converting paper collage designs into fabric compositions; and digital palette generation tools.

When I was invited to teach a four-day workshop at

When I was invited to teach a four-day workshop at the Australasian Quilt Convention (9-12 April 2026), I jumped a the opportunity to share a deep dive into one of my favourite subjects - abstract design. In “Riffing with Repetition”, we will be exploring how repetition contributes to unity and rhythm and makes our work sing. Whether you are liking to loosen up, think differently or stretch you creative muscles, this workshop will spark new ideas and help you find your rhythm using your preferred techniques and materials.

Bookings are now online at www.AQC.com.au
