543. CLASS—IMPROV GEMS
$65
MJ Kinman
Confident Beginner, Process Oriented, Sewing Machines Provided in Class
MJ Kinman, maker of giant gemstone quilts, will show how to create sparkling gem blocks in a whole new way using the power of improvisational piecing. Learn how to use improvisational strip-piecing techniques to create emerald-cut, baguette-cut, and Asscher-cut diamonds. These are diamonds that feature long, lovely facets, the "hall of mirrors" that highlight the interior clarity of a gem. During class, Kinman will discuss color selection for gems (Hint: there is no wrong answer!). She'll show how to make your gem sparkle with value contrast, and how to make your gem glow with saturation contrast. Finally, she'll demonstrate simple assembly techniques to piece together your lovely creation. www.mjkinman.com
