Rebecca will present "What the Judge is Thinking", offering insight into the judging process along with encourgement and practical tips for quilts show entrants.
What the Judge is Thinking?
This informative presentation takes you into the mind of a Certified Canadian Quilters’ Association (CQA/ACC), Quilt Judge. While quilt shows vary in format and scale … local, agricultural, guild, Juried, National and International … the judging process remains the same. It is grounded in the evaluation of design elements and principles combined with an assessment of technical execution.
What is the difference between being a Jury judge vs. final show judge? Let’s explore how judging occurs within the parameters of a given class e.g. modern, traditional, art, abstract etc.
Learn to see what the judge sees. Along with gaining some Tips n’ Tricks, you are sure to have light bulb moments that will add to your quilting journey and perhaps encourage you to enter a quilt into a judged show!
Duration: ~ 60 minutes
Our guest merchant will be the ever-popular "Kismet Quilts".
