Chapter Activities - November 2021

She spent time as an artist-in-residence at the Petrified Forest, and developed a palette of fabrics using the colors found in the Petrified Forest to create art quilts. She demonstrated the technique of using chipped ice and powdered dyes to create a variety of colors and textures
