ZOOM CHAT

Join Patricia Belyea as she chats with internationally recognized quilt artist Joe Cunningham.

Joe Cunningham has been engaged with the world of quilts for over 40 years. An author, speaker, and teacher, Joe creates quilts that are surprising and thought-provoking.

You may recognize Joe from the PBS series Craft in America or from The Quilt Show with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson.

Joe has travelled the country, and the world, to speak and teach. Perhaps he’s visited your guild and kept you all in stitches with his unexpected commentary.

This month Joe has moved his working studio into a storefront gallery space on Market Street in San Francisco. He’s just released a new book, and he’s teaching his Freedom Quilting workshops online.
