Rosalie Dace is a full time quiltmaker whose work reflects her passion for color, pattern and texture. She has had a lifelong interest in textiles and embroidery and has a degree in Art and English. While she values the traditions from which our quiltmaking has come, she believes that a quilt should say something about its time and place in history. This and her awareness of being a South African artist give her work its particular character.
Rosalie's classes are designed for class participants to have fun while they are learning, and to go beyond where they thought possible. In a non-threatening and respectful environment, she guides students to work in the direction of their own interest so that each person produces individual work within the general theme of the class. For this reason she does not usually provide patterns or kits. All classes however are supported by extensive visual material such as slides, pictures, books and actual examples of techniques and possible interpretation. As an art educator, Rosalie encourages students to develop a thorough knowledge of the elements of design and learn to apply these to the medium of quilt making with confidence.
