Hand Quilting At Tatter
Quilts hold and warm us. Beyond their blanketing layers, however, the history of quilting is a chronicle of human experience. Techniques and materials vary widely across the world, in an endless array of placed and patched cloth. Symbolic motifs and construction methods reveal histories — inspiring records of creativity and resourcefulness that teach us care and comfort, strength and repair, and the beauty of personal expression.
Historically, quilts have been a voice for those impacted by illiteracy, exhaustion, racial oppression, and gender inequity. Rooted in the diverse history of quilting and taught by contemporary textile artists, our classes explore the meaning and practice of quilting, combining enduring quilting techniques with new voices and approaches.
TATTER quilting classes and series are steeped in the ethos of repurposing materials. These offerings equally emphasize the skills of building a quilt and the meaning of this evolving craft to those who practice it. Classes explore a range of patchwork, appliqué, and quilting techniques. Hand Quilting at Tatter strives to expand the understanding of this medium and to cultivate confidence in individual practice.
