    Reconnect with your childlike creativity.  You just have to show up ready to play while learning how to add colors to white fabric and learning about color, composition, and creativity.  You will take home at least one small piece and a new energy in your creative process.  Even if you never paint on fabric again, this class will get your creative juices flowing.  This is an IN-PERSON workshop.

    Registration includes your $50 supply fee which includes all materials for class: fabric, paints, thread, brushes-everything you need for the class.

    **There are no refunds available for this workshop, if you are unable to attend after purchasing your ticket, please find someone to take your spot and notify VPprograms24@acqcolorado.org.**

    Please bring (or wear) a paint shirt or apron

      About Monique Kleinhaus

      Monique is a collage artist of techniques--blending her respect for traditional patchwork with bobbin-work, thread painting, watercolors, felting, weaving, and often on her own hand-dyed and hand-painted fabrics.  Many of her compositions include three-dimensional objects with a variety of fibers and textures.

      Monique owns and operates Ladybug's Cabin in Bigfork, Montana, and has designed over two dozen patterns for applique, table décor, and bed quilts.  She considers her patterns an invitation to explore and play.  She loves to share her fascination of color and texture in the fiber arts to inspire others to let their creativity shine.
