About This Class

Texture lovers, this one is for you. Join artist and instructor David Owen Hastings for a full day of modern quilt play as you build a small wall quilt bursting with layered stitching, tactile fabrics, and creative surface design. You’ll work within a limited palette to explore contrast, depth, and movement, discovering how simple materials can transform into a richly textured art piece. This workshop is hands‑on, approachable, and designed for all levels. Basic walking foot quilting knowledge is helpful, but not required. You’ll leave with a finished mini quilt and a head full of ideas for adding texture to every future project.

If you’re joining us for David’s second workshop, this class is a perfect warm‑up to keep the inspiration flowing.

Hello, I’m David Owen Hastings: I’m a modern quilter, graphic designer, and textile artist living in the Pacific Northwest. I create richly layered contemporary artwork and modern minimal quilt designs.

Sharing knowledge, encouraging creativity, and teaching new skills are personal passions. I give lectures and workshops on art, textile, and modern quilting techniques. I really enjoy helping people bridge the gap between modern art and modern quilting.
