Barn quilts are colorful, geometric designs painted onto wooden panels and displayed on the sides of barns, buildings, and other structures. Barn quilts are a beautiful way to accessorize either the interior or exterior of your home. This class caters to both beginners with no prior experience and experienced painters looking to explore new techniques. 

In this one-day class, artist Andrea Curry will guide you to make a 12” square barn quilt with colors that complement your decor. By the end of class, you will have gained a comprehensive understanding of painting barn quilts, from conceptualizing designs to applying techniques that bring them to life. This class fosters a sense of community and appreciation for both art and local culture.

Please bring an apron or wear clothing suitable for painting, a hair dryer, and up to six colors of interior/exterior latex paint (BEHR sample sizes of interior/exterior Premium Plus Ultra or Marquee from Home Depot are required; DO NOT BUY VALSPAR)

Registration will close TWO WEEKS prior to class date to provide time for the instructor to purchase and prime wooden panels.
