I have been exposed to quilting in 1995 during my studies in "Itzuvim" Combined Art College. The course, which focused on traditional techniques, introduced me to the centuries-old basics of quilting.
Later, I studied with various teachers and artistic quilters in Israel and abroad, thereby learning several innovative techniques. Gradually I used the acquired techniques as a foundation while letting my imagination run free as I design my works. Quilting is a wonderful evolving art form, offering infinite creative possibilities. The Inspiration for my quilts comes from a variety of sources.
The main techniques I use are fusing and raw edge applique. I usually create figurative quilts which helps me convey the idea through fabrics. My recent quilts were imitating stained glass technique. In the past year I concentrated in experimenting with Eco print and Cyanotype.

Blooming is nature’s process that does not consider what happens in the environment where they grow. In my new collection I chose to use traditional applique patchwork techniques but also eco print and cyanotype process to glorify nature to its fullest.

In this workshop we will learn how to make a new surface design as mosaic. All that is required is a selection of matching fabrics, coaching wool or special cords to build the borders, and precise cutting that will reveal different layers of fabrics.
The course will take place on Friday 25 April 2025 from 12:45 to 15:15.
