Irene RoderickImprovisational QuiltingQuick StepOnline Workshop

November 7 - 8, 2026 |$350

Release your inhibitions and tap into your creativity in this two-day online workshop.

Irene Roderick will guide you through improvisational quilting, where you will learn how to let go of your expectations and allow your sub-conscience to move your work forward. This freeing process reveals your unique aesthetic. You relax, play, let it happen, and see what comes.  

You may love it. You may hate it. (At first, but put your work away for a week or two and then revisit it. You will like it much more.) But have fun and enjoy the process. The methods you learn in this online workshop will work for any medium--painting, collage, printmaking, etc.

Improv is difficult. The process requires letting go of control but at the same time, remaining constantly thoughtful. You have to keep reminding yourself to get out of your own way and let it happen. Even if you are very accustomed to improv creating, the process is very rewarding. It is a process of discovery and invention. Improv is not sloppy. It’s a deliberate kind of spontaneity. It’s a state where you stay relaxed, connected, and alert.
