Nancy currently offers 12 quiltmaking workshops starting at beginning/intermediate level and graduating to advanced. All classes below are either 5-day or 2-week classes and are best taken sequentially. Each class builds on the one before it as all classes are taught as art classes. They are all deeply imbedded in classical art/design concepts. Figure/ground composition will be emphasized in every single class. Each student needs to be fluent in machine-piecing for all thirteen classes.
One may take Master Composition (2-week course) ONLY if they have studied with Nancy Crow a minimum of 5 times, have already found a voice, are used to and are willing to have their work critiqued, have a voice they are willing to share with other artists, have a voice they are willing to hone, and who accept responsibility for their own further development. It is considered a privilege to be in Master Composition and have the opportunity to enjoy and experience the extremely high level of work shared during this 2-week course.
