Barn Quilt Workshop

Love farmhouse style and country décor or jazzed about geometry and colorful shapes? Lovers of either aesthetic can have fun in this workshop, creating their own vibrant, hand-painted barn quilt perfect for your barn, porch, fence, or garden shed.

In this workshop led by Kim Bigard, you’ll be guided step-by-step through designing and painting your very own barn quilt square on 2×2 ft or 16×16 in solid core aluminum sheets. Exterior grade paint is used for fully weatherproof artwork that can be displayed outdoors year-round. You may come equipped with a favorite quilt pattern with straight lines, or peruse sample templates in class to create a timeless piece of Americana that blends artistry with tradition. No experience is necessary, just a love for creativity and country charm!

This workshop will be held from 10 am-2 pm on Saturday, July 26, in the Idonea Hersee Classroom at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway in Mount Pleasant.

Note: Registrations MUST be made at least 1 week prior, so materials can be purchased and prepped ahead of the workshop. Students unable to finish their project during class time are welcome to come during open hours to finish their project. Please feel free to bring a snack or lunch to class.

Recommended age: 16 and up
