Lecture Description: David LaPlaca submitted photos of his church's enormous advent banner to be considered for display at the 2025 International Quilt Festival in Houston, and it was chosen. The four panels measure more than 17 feet wide with 32 separate pieces. Last October David and his wife travelled to Texas for the last few days of the exhibition, which drew approximately 60,000 attendees from more than 25 countries. While there, David gave two talks about his work. In his presentation for the guild, he will share his unique approach to design and quilting.
About David: As an art director in publishing, David designed and illustrated a wide variety of books. A father of four homeschooled children, he serves on the worship team of Immanuel Presbyterian Church and enjoys creating sacred art for the church year. He holds degrees in art and music, and discovers joy in making and restoring harps, preparing beautiful edible creations, and construction the occasional castle or puppet theater. He has taught art at Greenhouse Christian Co-School in Wheaton, Illinois since 2011. Website: https://www.davidlaplaca.com |
