Richard is a 3rd generation quilter and his passion for sewing began as soon as he was old enough to cut out quilt pieces, so it’s only natural that he would end up a quilter as well—and one with a keen eye for design. Richard went on to get his degree in Textile Art, attending college at ICC Community and Bradley University.
But these days, Richard loves teaching and seeing the student have an "ah-ha moment"—that moment when it all clicks. He’s adopted a “Learn, Inspire, Create” concept in his teaching and it’s a philosophy he loves passing along to his students. He’s taught all over the U.S. and Canada and enjoys every opportunity to connect with his students.
Sewing is his super power!
You can expect to have the time of your life. Richard is a natural educator and born sewer with lots of energy to keep you breezing through projects. During the course of these 3-days, Richard will have kits to give each student and guide you through three big projects; Harori Kimono Cover Up, Sashiko Machine Mat, and a Boro Tote Bag. Lunch will be served each day.
Students should Bring:
Scissors, clips, straight pins and frixion pen
