Rocks, Pebbles & Stones, Oh My!

TUTOR: ANA BUZZALINO

Ana describes: “I was born in a small seaside resort and ever since I was a small child, I’ve loved rocks, pebbles and stones. Still at my age, I cannot resist going by a rock without looking at it and wondering if I can find an excuse to keep it. So it was natural to me to find a way to incorporate these rocks and small pebbles in a quilt.

Join me in this fun and relaxing class to make rocks, pebbles and stones and learn two different methods to incorporate them into your art pieces.”
