Past Times at Glidden: Barn Quilt Workshop
April 26 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The J.F. Glidden Homestead & Historical Center will host a hands-on artistic experience with its upcoming Past Times at Glidden: Dutch Tulip Barn Quilt Workshop on Sunday, April 26, from 1–4 PM at the Glidden Homestead, 921 W. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb.
Participants in this engaging three-hour workshop will receive a pre-drafted 17″ x 17″ wooden shiplap board, already primed and ready to paint. Guided by instructor Courtney Sliga, attendees will learn a brief history of barn quilts, explore painting techniques, and receive expert advice on selecting a balanced and visually striking color palette. By the end of the session, each participant will leave with a completed barn quilt ready for display.
The workshop is designed for both beginners and experienced painters. Registration is $75 per student, and space is limited. Advance registration is required and available at GliddenHomestead.org. A portion of all proceeds directly supports the museum’s operations.
