Painted Barn Quilt-Thursday (VT)

Barn Quilt Classes

Unlike  making a fabric quilt, this is your chance to create a unique and  special piece of history to display proudly on your home, barn, shed,  porch or even hang in your home.  And the best part is that most of the  Barn Quilt art is created in one day.  They are painted on aluminum  composite material, which will not rot or rust, ensuring you can enjoy  your piece of art for years to come.  Instant gratification ~ and much  like Lay's Potato Chips, "You can't make just one"! 

*** You must choose your design when you check out. All designs can either be made into a 24" x 24" design or a 12" x 18" Welcome Sign. Please choose either 24" x 24" or Welcome Sign below. You will be prompted to make your design choice on the next page.

What is Provided in Class:

• Aluminum Composite (ACM) Board, cut to size, sanded, primed, and drawn with your choice of pattern;  ACM is light-weight and easy to hang anywhere.

• All painting supplies including over 50 colors to choose from and brushes for painting and detailing your design.

• Cutting tools to utilize when design calls for trimming

• Instructor expertise, guidance and tips for creating your quality masterpiece

What Participants Need to Bring:

1. Painters Tape - I recommend either green or yellow Frog Tape that is .94" in width, but wider widths work too.  (Yellow Frog Tape is the BOMB!)

2.  Hair Dryer - This is what we need to  get the paint to dry in order to complete the class in 7 hours. I do have a few spare, so if you don't own a hairdryer please don't purchase one specifically for this event.

3. Either wear clothes you don't care about, or  an apron.  Accidents happen and we don't want for you to ruin your  favorite top and/or pants.

4. Lunch, snacks to share (if you so desire) and non-alcoholic beverages. There is not a formal break for this, folks simply eat when they are hungry and  continue working or take a break as needed.   

5.  A big smile and creative attitude.

Class Specific Details:

• Class sessions begin at 8:30 am and wrap up by 4 pm.  You can take breaks as needed when you're in between steps. It does take the entire time, but you can leave if you finish early. 

Please Note: This is a full-day class.
