This workshop will be led by quilting artist Dolores Vitero-Presley of the Sew ‘n Sews Quilt Group.

Dolores is a long-time member of the African American Quilt Guild of Oakland. Her quilts have been featured in numerous group exhibits and private and public collections, and as an artist in residence and outreach in many venues. She was honored by the AAQGO for her outstanding contributions to the organization since its inception in 2000. Learn more about the AAQGO on their website - https://www.aaqgo.org/AAQGO/ - and in this New York Times feature article: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/03/arts/design/quilts-with-a-sense-of-place-stitched-in-oakland.html 

This is an encore occurrence of last month's workshop organized for the "Celebrate Black History Month" exhibition curated by the Hayward Arts Council at the Hayward Downtown Library. The exhibition featured a variety of media by Hayward Arts Council and Sew 'n Sews members.
