Glidden Historical Center: Barn Quilt Workshop – Past Times at Glidden

November 8 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Participants will receive a pre-drafted 17″ x 17″ wooden board, already primed and ready to paint. You’ll learn a brief history of barn quilts, explore painting techniques, and get guidance on selecting a beautiful, balanced color palette.

Then, it’s your turn to bring your design to life! The workshop lasts approximately three hours, and you’ll leave with a completed barn quilt ready to display.

The class is led by Courtney Sliga. This workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced painters.

Spots are limited, and advance registration is required. A portion of all proceeds directly supports museum operations.
