Modern Block Improv
1 to 2-day 6-12hrs / intermediate / all skill levels welcome
Practice your patchwork scales. Start with a fixed “traditional” block pattern or one of your own, and transform it through a series of repetitions and variations. Explore and create flexible patterns by listening to internal cues. Learn ruler-free patchwork and composition techniques, and gain a deeper sense of how patterns work and evolve for you.

Explore intuitive color, make narrative relationships, articulate your line, cut from your core, find your flow, and discover your preferences.
