Robert J Bosscher will join us for a virtual lecture exploring influences in quilting that should be welcomed, explored further & incorporated more broadly into the modern quilting movement. Ideas including incorporating reused materials, non traditional fabrics, narrative quilts, activist quilts, and incorporating different mediums (ie. paint, print making, and other non-traditional quilt materials) will be explored.

This discussion is important if Modern Quilting wants to remain relevant as a quilting movement in the quilt world and expand its influence in the art world. The discussion explores influences, techniques and quilters who are working in these categories - looking at quilts that challenge what modern quilting is.

Participants will be encouraged to experiment with these different techniques in their own work, and seek out ways to explore and expand their own definitions of quilting in general, and the Modern Quilt movement in particular.
