The class will include:
- a presentation on the art of Bauhaus,
- a bit of color theory and choosing impactful, unique palettes,
- basics of foundation paper piecing,
- designing unique, one-of-a-kind quilts, utilizing postage-stamp sized quilt block graphics which will be assembled by students, creating their own personal quilt roadmap

The Bauhaus Movement was about experimentation and pushing the boundaries of design. This class will encourage everyone to find their own unique modernism and create something truly innovative. With Daisy's technique, students will have fun approaching modern quilt design in a fresh way. For experienced modern quilters and beginners alike, students will find ease and confidence as they build their quilt roadmap, and begin work on their very own Bauhaus Creation.

| Instructor Bio: | Born and raised in Michigan, a mid-western girl at heart; I graduated from Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus, Ohio. where I studied both commercial and fine art with a focus on advertising and printmaking. My favorite medium was limestone lithography, which is where I fell in love with process-driven art mediums. This led me down many roads to exploring and honing skills in techniques like collaging, stained glass, and quilting. I have been quilting for over 30 years, making my first stitch in 1992. It all started when my mom and I signed up for an afternoon ?Introduction to Quilting? class. I never expected to fall in love with the art of quilting like I did. From that day forward, I was hooked and have been quilting (and collecting fabric) ever since. I began designing her own quilting patterns early on, and has a natural knack for creative and interesting color and design combinations. In addition to quilting, I specialize in acrylic painting and collage art; and have won dozens of national awards for my work. I pride myself on precise, skilled workmanship (often on a minute scale) with incredible attention to detail; and unexpected color combinations. My career in product design & development took me from Ohio to Michigan to Minnesota and landed her in New York, where she resided for over 20 years before moving to Florida in 2021, with my husband, Michael.
