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.
20 INSPIRING QUILTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Teresa Duryea Wong and David Owen Hastings researched, wrote and designed this presentation together. They have combined their 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.
David and Teresa present this lecture individually, or as a team for a slightly higher speaking fee.
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.
Impeccable handwork, strong quilting skills, layers of exquisite textiles, and deeply distinct cultures are woven into each of these stunning quilts.
