Lorraine Woodruff-Long
Lorraine is a self-taught artist with a passion for quilts as commentary and a creative focus on color, improvisation, and recycled/repurposed fabric. Recognizing the stereotype of quilts viewed as a “lesser” art form historically madeby women for the home, I have embraced the method as a way to personally process and express the political and social madness of our times.
Sam Hunter
Sam will take us from the 1800s to 2020, from the first signature and fundraising quilts through to present day protest art. Sam also includes some of her personal fine art work and talks about the stories the work is aiming to convey. Visit Sam's website at https://huntersdesignstudio.com/.
Note: Some of the quilts Sam shows have political messages, but this lecture is about the history of words in quilts.
