Talented Sandra Bruce was at our July meeting with an interesting profile of her life in the quilt/art world.  She has made jewelry, clothing, traditional and art quilts.   She has done graphics for product labels and advertising.  She lectured on her technique, “Material Matrix” which involves interpreting a gridded photograph with fabric.  This process is different from other gridded photograph methods in that it involves piecing and a loose, representational style inspired by the painter, Chuck Close (pictured in one of the quilts below).  On Saturday, she taught her class on the same subject.  Here are a few pictures from the meeting and the class.  Everyone at the class looked so intense and interested in her process.
