When award-winning artist Sheila Frampton Cooper creates, she revels in the spontaneous. Her free-form process with its twists and turns inevitably delivers her to a place of unfiltered originality. Her bold work unapologetically commands attention.
From years of oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting to jewelry making and architectural photography, it has been a surprising leap to Sheila’s current passion of studio art quilts. Her quilts feature improvisational piecing as well as painting with thickened dyes and various aspects of surface design.
Sheila has won awards at major quilt shows including International Quilt Festival, Road to California, and the AQG show in Paducah. She lives in Southern California.
Lecture

2- Day Workshop
“Applique + Piecing = New Possiblities”
By using a technique called Appli-Piecing, one can bring almost any complex abstract idea into quilt form. Students will learn how to compose a design, create a full-size pattern, and assemble the forms all while playing with color and movement.
