Beginners+ 

The possibilities of this simple technique are only limited by your imagination.
Using your most precious bright batiks or hand-dyes (the ones you can’t bear to cut into) a black overlay, and free motion quilting, you will mostly complete your wall hanging during class and take it home for binding.
You will learn the basics of design to create your one-of-a-kind piece. No fusible required. 
Warning: this technique is addictive! 
Students are encouraged to bring their own design ideas.  A Google search for images relating to "positive negative art", "black and white art", "notan", "silhouette art" or "scherenschnitte" will result in thousands of ideas for this technique.
I also have pictures of many students' work on my website: www.singingquilter.com.  Follow the links to "Classes" and "Students' Work". 
Discussion of design basics: line, shape, value, positive/negative space, balance
