GUILD LECTURE: 20 Modern Quilts from Around the World
QUILTERS GUILD OF THE BRITISH ISLES LECTURE: This lecture will take you around the world of modern quilts being made today! Let’s look beyond the borders of the United States, and visit some amazing quilt artists from across the globe.
David Owen Hastings will bring his signature conversational style and deeply researched content to introduce you to the most innovative international modern quilters — artists hailing from Argentina, Guatemala, Italy, France, New Zealand, South Korea and Switzerland. Discover how these makers are leading the international modern quilting aesthetic with pioneering techniques and unique perspectives.
As the labels between art quilt and modern quilt blur, these 20 stunning and truly modern quilts will inspire us and lead us into the next big thing. Learn how local nature, art, architecture, cultural traditions, and even politics inform and inspire these artists.
This lecture is hosted by the Quilters Guild of the British Isles – QGBI virtually on Zoom.
