A DIALOGUE BETWEEN QUILTING AND ARCHITECTURE

VALERIE S. GOODWIN R.A. - FIBER ARTIST

Valerie is a practicing architect, Associate Professor of Architecture and fiber artist whose work has appeared in numerous publications and exhibitions such as “Quilt National”, “American Craft Magazine” and “The Quilter’s Quarterly Journal”. Since 1998, she has been teaching beginning design to students in architecture at Florida A & M University’s School of Architecture, using some of the design principles found in both quilting and architecture. Both use shape, composition, ordering systems, color, texture and pattern. This lecture focuses on this unusual subject matter – finding common ground between quilting and architecture. This is presented in an engaging manner, using many interesting ideas and thought-provoking images. It also includes a trunk show showcasing her quilts as well as the work of her architecture students.
