Economy Block Workshop
with Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably
We are thrilled to invite Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably into our Ohio studio!
Discover how Kaffe experiences the colors and basic shapes around him. Learn how we can train our own eyes to see this rewarding source of creativity, and how we can combine striking fabrics with simple shapes to create our own spectacular quilt designs! Then, allow Kaffe and Brandon to be your mentors as you begin your own personal color journey through fabric choice and placement.

Please note, no sewing takes place during this workshop.
