Since I will be having (virtual) guests in my studio for the next four weeks, I figured I’d better tidy up my work space (at least the parts that could be seen!). Each Thursday this month I will be inviting guests to be a “Fly on the Wall” as I work on my newest fabric collage quilt, “Winfrieda” the polar bear (the beginnings of which are above). The first session in this series is tonight! There’s still time to sign up to attend this live event.
UPDATE: due to popular request, a recording will be made available to registrants a day after each weekly session so that those who may miss a Thursday evening can catch up over the weekend (or later).
See the registration link for the series below—the recording of last week’s Free Introduction to the Fly on the Wall: Susan Carlson Studio Watch follows farther in the post.
October Fly on the Wall Registration
This week’s Throwback Thursday post takes you on a tour of my studio as it was shortly after it was constructed a few years ago. While there haven’t been any major changes since then (except that it has gotten more full of stuff), the studio has taken on a function that we did not foresee when we built it. Along with being a space for me to create in, it has been transformed into a part-time video studio.
Tom and I have done lots and lots of live presentations by now, starting with my Thursday Night in My Studio Live! series back during the early days of the pandemic, continuing on with Live Online Classes (see this November’s class listing below), individual fabric collage coaching, lectures and trunk shows for quilt guilds, and now most recently with the “Fly on the Wall” series.
Here are a few shots of the setup we’ll use to bring you into my studio from wherever you are—Djinni cat included—and yes, that styrofoam packing has become a favorite bed of hers.
