More About the Improv Curves Primer Series
From my sewing room to yours…
I am inspired to offer this comprehensive trio of Improv Curve workshops this fall. I’ve thought carefully about all of the possible curve classes I have taught and could teach and chose these three as a balanced and connected curriculum that will build confidence and flow, advance your curve skill set, and key your mind to think in curves (not squares).
In September: Refine your signature curve. Boost your confidence with color, rhythm, line and technique. Learn a reliable method to create flowing, curves that soften the grid every time.
In October: Learn bias-strip curve piecing on the curve. Expand your technique tool kit and your ability to realize your vision.
In November: Grasp the basics of curve piecing and composition. Making organic freestyle curves may seem hard, but once you learn how curve piecing works, composing off‑grid and on the fly gets easy.
Join me for one, two or all three Improv Curve workshops in this thoughtfully curated series.
I can’t wait to see what you create!
