Faux Stained-Glass Barn Quilt Workshop

Create a faux stained-glass barn quilt at this workshop. West Plains Council on the Arts (WPCA) will host the workshop, conducted by local artist Tara Shahan. Cost for the workshop is $40, all supplies included.

Create the elegant beauty of classic stained glass using a picture frame, instant faux lead line and gallery glass paint.  Your stained-glass barn quilt will be beautiful in a window, on a wall, or mantle.  Choose from pastels and jewel tones to paint your 12”x 12” barn quilt. Project will require dry time, and will be picked up after the class date.

At time of reservation, please select one design and two colors only. A flyer with the options is available at http://westplainsarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Faux-Stained-Glass-Barn-Quilt-Rev.-2023.pdf

About the instructor: Tara Shahan was raised in a small town in the Appalachian foothills of southern Ohio until about the age of 12. Her upbringing included being a member in the Patchworkers 4-H club, where most of her projects consisted of food, sewing and crafts taught by her mother, a 4-H leader. Shahan won ribbons for her work at local and state fairs, including an award for Outstanding of the Day at the Ohio State Fair. Shahan now lives in West Plains.

“For the most part I have created things for my own home but now have decided to share those things that I create and cherish so much,” says Shahan. “My passion is for what they are calling these days – rustic, primitive and farmhouse. Most of my items have been upcycled from a vintage piece or made from a common household item. This is what inspires me. Of course, I love frequenting vintage resale shops and antique stores for my inspirations, so most items that I make are pre-loved and show wear. DIY is a way of life in the Midwest. Thou art blessed who ‘rescues’ unwanted items!”
