Recycled Circles go round again

"Indigo Dance" 12x12 inches IN PROGRESS ~ Recycled Circles by Jane LaFazio

Workshop in a museum at Visions Art Museum, San Diego

Last week, I taught my ever-popular (thank you!) workshop "Recycled Circles" at Visions Art Museum in San Diego. It's a great workshop (if I do say so myself) as an introduction to art quilts. And all these small art quilts were created in just one day.
Take a look at this cool student work:
