Lisa Flowers Ross "Abstracting From Reality" Workshop

Lisa Flowers Ross has agreed to teach a two-day “Abstracting from Reality” workshop for the Boise Basin Quilt Guild from 8:45-3:45 on Feb. 26 & 27, 2026. The workshop will be held at the Idaho State Archives building, 2205 Old Penitentiary Rd., Boise, 83712.

Lisa Flowers Ross is a celebrated textile artist who creates colorful, modern, contemporary art. Because Lisa is local, we have the unique opportunity of being able to host this design workshop at less than half the cost that it has been offered elsewhere!

Lisa describes her “Abstracting from Reality” workshop this way:
“Exploring different perspectives will lead to discovery of new ways of seeing. The focus of this workshop is to learn various approaches to abstraction that can be used in designing future artworks.

Using their own photos for inspiration, participants will work through several exercises on paper that explore design elements and principles such as line, shape, repetition and value. Different ways to translate these elements into fiber will be discussed.
Participants will leave with a mostly completed project using either fused fabrics or collaged papers. Hand stitching may be worked on in class, but any machine stitching and finishing will need to be completed outside of class.”

Ticket sales opened on Oct.1st but are limited to members of the Boise Basin Quilt Guild until Jan. 1st, when registration will open to the general public. The registration deadline (and the last day to request a refund) is Feb. 21st
