Improv Mindset - How spontaneity creates confidence
Availability: Spaces Available
Instructor:
Workshop Description:
Developing the habits that support improvisation.
Improvisational art often appears spontaneous, but the most compelling work grows from a way of thinking that welcomes uncertainty and responds to what emerges during the act of making. In this five-day workshop, we will explore the mindset that supports improvisational practice.
Through structured exercises built around simple constraints, participants will investigate how ideas develop in real time, how visual decisions evolve, and how to recognize what a piece needs next. Rather than focusing on technical instruction, the workshop emphasizes habits of attention: curiosity, observation, responsiveness, and the willingness to follow unexpected directions.
By the end of the week, you will leave with a completed quilt top or a top well in progress, along with strategies for approaching improvisation with confidence.
Level: Students should be intermediate to advanced sewers.
