I have always enjoyed the beauty of Hilde Morin's fiber arts and was so blessed that she was going to be teaching her bowl creations when I had a gap in my schedule! It is not quite right to say she teaches you how to create a bowl...in fact she moves you to see beyond the bowl. You do learn how to construct the base of your bowl, but after that, her mission is to release the inner artist that lurks (for some of us) in the dark recesses of our souls. Acknowledging that I am a die-hard pattern follower, where choosing my own colors is what I consider creative, this class...I don't know...set something free within me. Such a small creation to have shaken up my imagination. Each time I thought in my smugness, my bowl is done, she would, in her thoughtful artistic eye say...humm, no you are not! Then she would ever so gently ask questions about your creation and suggest a possible enhancement to the story you were trying to tell with your bowl. There are little doors in my brain that were opened and now will forever more allow fresh air in... check out Hilde's webpage

We had students who traveled great distances to take this class at the Stitchin' Post in Sisters, Oregon and you will be amazed at the progress we made in our class! Enjoy the slide show and for other news check out the Woolie Blog and Quilt Roadies!
