Session Q3A
Kevin Womack
About the Instructor:
Kevin Womack is a textile artist living in Lynchburg, Virginia. While majoring in the sciences at James Madison University, he satisfied his strong interest in the arts by including several elective art courses as part of his studies. Kevin earned his bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and went to work in the IT field. He continued his artist pursuits, exploring photography, metals/jewelry, pottery and oil painting in community art classes.
In 1986, Kevin was introduced to quilting by his maternal grandmother. Having always loved the legacy of family quilts, he decided to have her teach him the tradition. While his interest in other media has waned, his passion for fiber has endured. Over the years, Kevin studied with many accomplished textile artists and developed a love for hand dyeing and patterning fabrics with surface design techniques. His experiments produce a line of unique fabrics and clothing that he exhibits and sells.
Kevin’s artwork and quilts have been exhibited at several local and regional shows. His collaborative work with artist Eleanor McCain was selected for inclusion in the Quilt National ‘13 exhibition and Quilt Visions Biennial 2014. In addition to his fabric business, Kevin teaches and lectures nationally.
Session Q3B
Jennifer Broemel
About the Instructor:
I am a former architect, self taught textile artist. I was drawn to cloth by the process, I love sewing, hand sewing, machine sewing, embroidery, all of it. I love experimenting with repurposed fabrics and am especially interested in taking everyday fabrics and working them into something beautiful; unexpected. My intention is to inspire others to look at the world more mindfully, more carefully. To inspire them to explore their creative urges. Hoping that in trusting their own artistic craving that they can find beauty in the minute and mundane, it is out there, everywhere and once you trust it, it will be found.
