OLLI is proud to partner with Keowee Krafters, a nonprofit Maker Space for crafts, artisans, and skills.

Create your own personalized 3' x 3' Barn Quilt for home, office or even a barn for that matter! You start with a provided primed and framed plywood panel, learn how to draw a published pattern or design your own, then paint it with the supplied vivid outdoor colors, seal it and you go home with an envy-worthy showpiece ready to be mounted in a prominent place. All materials, tools and paint are provided in this two-day class.

Tammy Holbrook brings over 30 years of educational experience to the Keowee Krafters community. Before co-founding MakeKeowee, Tammy dedicated three decades to teaching home economics and crafts to middle and high school students, fostering creativity in the next generation. Tammy has been painting barn quilts for over a decade and has been sharing this specialized craft through teaching for the last two years. Her passion for the art form is deeply personal; she painted her very first barn quilt in memory of her father shortly after his passing. That original piece still hangs on the family barn today, serving as a testament to the lasting beauty and emotional connection found in handmade art.
