RJR Cosmopolitans

The last 30-plus years of Sue Beevers' life have been spent immersed in the fiber world, first as a spinner, weaver, and dyer, and now as a fabric painter and quilter. She travels extensively, giving lectures and workshops throughout the US and at major fiber conferences. Many of Sue's pieces have been framed as works of art and featured in collections internationally. Other artists use Sue's painted fabrics to express their own, sometimes very different, design visions, an extension that Sue finds fascinating. Sue is author of Off-the-Shelf Fabric Painting, which demonstrates her renowned fabric painting techniques. The book was one of C&T Publishing's best-selling titles!

It is planned to take place over two successive days, six hours each day. This gives participants an opportunity to sample the concepts discussed.

The workshop can easily be expanded to three or more days, allowing for students to plan and begin their own quilt.
