Denise is available for both classes and lectures.
Denise’s lectures typically emphasize how her stonescapes have evolved over the years, her changing techniques, and key lessons learned. She also lectures on quilt composition and design, highlights how she uses and selects colors, how she maximizes (and controls) texture, and details her personal evolution relative to the use of fabric-based perspective and shadowing.
Denise’s classes most often focus on her fabric painting and texturing techniques, and can be either one or two days in duration. She also teaches, however, a number of other, highly acclaimed classes. See Events for the latest schedules. Classes are highly interactive and very hands-on, and can be held either in her Colorado studio or customer locations.
“WOW!! I loved taking your Fabric Painting and Texturing workshop – for several reasons. First, I learned so
many great techniques for creating intriguing textures while painting fabric. Second, you were
so willing to share with us what you have learned and experienced and didn't hold anything back.
Third (and this is so important to me), I didn't feel any pressure at all to complete a specific number
of painted fabric pieces or to keep up with anyone else. Unlike some other workshops I have taken
in the past, I felt the freedom of just being able to relax, learn, and create.”

“Your “Reverse Appliqué” class was just wonderful. I came away with so much more than just an understanding of reverse
appliqué. You helped to open my eyes to a multitude of different materials, techniques and ideas for doing art quilts.
And you were so patient with all of us. I can’t wait to take your Fabric Painting class.”
