Print & Craft class presents quilt to Student Services Director Jennifer Quinn The day before Thanksgiving, the Metro Arts Print & Craft class presented Jenny Quinn with a quilt that they made for her and her baby. Students created individual fabric squares using the cyanotype process and drawings they created. The images all focussed on the "woodland" theme that Ms. Quinn is using in her nursery. Then the class worked together to stitch it all into a quilt for Jenny's baby. Print & Contemporary Craft teachers Seth Kasselman and Betsy Rosenmiller assisted the students in making the quilt.
