In today’s class, we’ll take inspiration from the artistic aspect of quilt blocks, but instead of using textiles, we’ll use paper to complete this project. Paper can be torn, (using various methods and I’ll show 3 in class) or cut precisely. And the effects from each are striking and personal to the artist. We’ll create paper blocks by layering papers and combining colors and patterns. And add a layer of “faux” stitching as an homage to the humble quilt block.
