General Meeting
Claudia Shearer, Speaker
"How Did I Get Here? My Improv Journey"
Claudia Shearer is a San Francisco-based quiltmaker and educator, who offers workshops and lectures focused on improvisational and modern quilting techniques. Claudia’s goal is to inspire and encourage her students to create quilts without relying on patterns.
Known for her improv design, curved piecing, and nuanced use of color, Claudia’s award-winning quilts have been exhibited in art exhibitions and major quilt shows, including the Pacific International Quilt Festival, QuiltCon, and Quilt Festival Houston.
In this one-hour lecture and trunk show, Claudia Shearer will share her journey from an early interest in quiltmaking to developing a distinct creative voice through improvisation. Through a slide presentation featuring her early quilts and more recent work, she will explore what improve quilting is and how it became the foundation of her creative process.
