Barn Quilt painting classes are two to four hour sessions where students choose a design from a pre-selected group and arrive ready to paint.  


Class is either morning or afternoon.

 (Some students will finish within two hours!)   

 Recommended Designs <<<  

(or… go to website: www.TheBarnQuilter.net )

If you pick a design that is very complex I will call you to discuss.  Or find something online.  Send a photo of it to Jeff.   Bring beverages and snacks.


All the materials for class are provided and the participants need only be dressed knowing they may get paint on their skin and clothing.  All the paints are latex acrylic exterior paints in a variety of colors. None of these paints have any odor.  Colors (over 200) can be mixed or tinted on-site for lighter shades of a given color. Cleanup is just soap and water.   Bring your own latex/acrylic paints if you have preferences!  


Each participant chooses a design from the website, or submits a design of their own choice for approval. Everyone goes home with their finished piece!  Price for class is $75 for a 24” panel or $100 for a 30” square panel.   Everything is painted on durable aluminum composite panels.

Special tip!  This helps avoid paint bleeding under the tape.  Use a thin coat of clear finish to coat the edges of new tape areas.  Bleeds are practically eliminated.  Seem like an extra step?  Thank me later… Let a thin line of the paint you are taping over show before pressing the tape into place. This helps eliminate thin unpainted strips from occurring. Use thin coats of paint!  You will get uniform coverage without paint layer be
