Galla Grotto - The Encyclopedia of Women



At Quilt Market in Houston this past fall Galla Grotto had the most amazing display of quilts I’ve ever seen.  Her exhibit was called The Women’s Encyclopedia.  Her work is exquisite—I’d call her the Picasso of quilting.  Galla’s academic training was in Russia, since she is of Russian origin, but she currently lives in France. She likes to mix different techniques and to experiment with new challenges. Her creativity seems inexhaustible. 

We are pleased to be hosting Galla in her first US based series of classes.  There are two workshops to choose from.  Her 2-day dreamer class and her 4-day retreat style class called The Encyclopedia of Women. Both class models are hanging in the store.  We will have a translator for both of Galla’s workshops.

This was my favorite piece from Galla’s Quilt Market exhibit and she is teaching it at The Quilt Crossing!

There are five different female Characters depicted—Femininity, love, nostalgia, joy, and hope in this work of quilting art.  During this class you will have the chance to create your very own character from the 5 depicted.  Galla is designing patterns for each—so you’ll select your favorite.  We will have a fabulous selection of hand-dyed fabrics on hand for these classes.
