Discover the colorful tradition of barn quilts in this hands-on workshop at the Garden. Participants will join artist Carole Phipps and “helper” Carson to create their own painted barn quilt design while learning about the history and artistry behind this beloved folk art.
No experience is necessary– just bring your creative spirit and leave with a unique piece to display at home and inspiration drawn from the garden’s natural beauty.
Fee Includes:
● A 24″x24″ board made of ACM (aluminum composite material – similar to road signs).
● Your choice of one of the six patterns.
● All necessary tools and supplies to paint the barn quilt.
● Lunch and refreshments during the session.
● Guidance from experienced artist Carole Phipps
● Access to the garden after the workshop.
