About this course:
Architectural Quilting is a hands-on, exploratory workshop for quilters of all levels who want to push beyond traditional design. Inspired by rural and modern architecture, participants will translate structural forms, patterns, and spatial relationships into abstract, improvisational quilts.
Through fast studies and open-ended exploration, you’ll explore geometry, color, texture, layering, and depth learning how to break, bend, and re-imagine architectural structure in cloth. Emphasis is placed on process, risk-taking, and trusting the eye allowing structure to emerge through improvisation rather than control. Individual guidance will support each maker’s evolving visual language.
We will create multiple sketches in cloth to expand each participant’s creative horizon either leading to a resolved final piece or serving as a springboard for fresh inspiration. Participants will leave with new design tools, a small portfolio of studies, and the confidence to create expressive quilts rooted in architectural abstraction.
The class size is limited to 15 participants.
You will also have one free day to explore Pau with its historic C16th Chateaux, Place Royale & the Boulevard des Pyrénées. You may wish to extend your trip before or after the workshop to discover the Atlantic coast (approximately 1.30 hours drive) or even the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain (approximately 3 hours drive). Transport is not included on the free day. However, The Team at Clos Mirabel are happy to provide suggestions and help with logistics.
