ALUMNI MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Alumni Mentorship program is currently paused for a few months

This is a mentorship program for students of Rachel Derstine who wish to participate in live Zoom monthly critique sessions

 

Do you wish you had a community of like minded art quilters who would be committed to meeting regularly?
Do you wish you had someone to share ideas with who would be honest and supportive in their responses?
Do you you wish to be inspired by others who continue to strive toward being artfully creative and who strive to follow good principles of design?
do you have too many unfinished projects and need a little motivation to get them done?
If so, this is the place for you.
You have previously participated in Rachel’s Courses or guild Classes and know the kind of supportive interaction she encourages. Join a group which meets monthly to continue the same helpful discussions about your work and the work of others in the group.
Please Note:
If you have not yet enrolled in any Artful Quilting Courses or Classes and wish to try class at this time please visit our online offerings here or visit our virtual live offerings here.

* We are now making this Mentorship Group available to any person who has either taken a class through Artful Quilting or taken a class through a quilt guild with Rachel Derstine.

Space is limited:  we are only accepting 25 participants at this time.

Membership is ongoing.  You have the option of contacting me to cancel your membership at any time.

This is a chance to share your projects in a live session with a supportive community.  There will be a portion of the meetings set aside for critique sessions.  SAQA PA Critique Guidelines will be followed.   This is a great way to share ideas, solve problems, expand your knowledge of techniques, design, color theory in an immediate exchange.

Images may be sent to Rachel prior to sessions for sharing with the group at admin@artfulquiltingandsewing.com

Continued sharing of images throughout the month with interaction will be possible on the Artful Quilting and Sewing Courses Member Group Facebook Page.
