David M. Taylor Workshop: Feathered Friends-Pictorial Appliqué
September 4 – 6, 2025
David Taylor’s quilts are often mistaken as paintings, and that makes him very happy. His works are adapted from photographs, and his technique evolved from his love of jigsaw puzzles.
In this workshop, students will learn the fine points to his craft. Topics include his unique pattern drawing method and turned-edge, layered, freezer paper appliqué technique. A strong emphasis is placed on fabric selection (bring as much as you can to the class) and using those fabrics wisely.
All students will be working from David’s original pattern of a fine-feathered friend, and choosing their own fabric color palette – neutrals, brights, whimsical, representational, etc. – the possibilities are endless!
Let your imagination fly as you discover a new way to look at fabric and experience a new appreciation for the art of appliqué!
Material Fee: $15 (USD) for pattern and freezer paper templates provided by David. Fee is paid directly to David in class.
