LECTURES
Lyric currently offers four lectures. Detailed descriptions can be found here. The first two are powerpoint/slide type lectures. I bring my own equipment but you will need to have a room that can darken and have a screen or wall for me to project onto. The wearable art lecture can be turned into a really fun participants fashion show added into the wearables I have made.
- The Elements of Art for Quilters: teaches basic design in an understandable way to every kind of quilter.
- Living Lyrically: inspires everyone to make use of the creativity they have by finding inspiration, beauty, and joy everywhere they look.
- Excuse Me, Is that a quilt you’re wearing?: live fashion show with local participation.
- Want to Teach?: business development lecture for aspiring quilt-circuit teachers.
- Failure is an Option!: why making bad art is vital to good artists – more of a group discussion geared towards art quilters but applicable to anyone who MAKES things.

OTHER QUESTIONS:
Why a booking fee? I take limited gigs. If you book me, then cancel because of low enrollment, you have wasted a slot that another guild was turned down for. It is not an extra fee as it is deducted from the teaching fee. It is just a little extra incentive for you to fill your classes.
Why a higher cost per hour for a 3 hour class? Because it takes me as long to prepare for and set up and make kits for a 3 hour class as it does for a 6 hour class. It’s typical to spend a full day prepping (making kits, ordering supplies, packing and shipping) for every class I teach.
Will you stay with a guild member to save on hotel costs? Sure. I do require a private room and bathroom and no smoking or pets. I have enough annoying allergies that if I sleep in a house with pets I’ll be coughing and wheezing and snarky and tired all the next day. That’s not fun for me or the students in class! You can find a “care and feeding of lyric” F.A.Q. here.
