Video: Faith Ringgold, Art Quilter

Faith Ringgold paved the way for many art quilters with her story quilts. See my article in Fiber Focus for more background information on her path.

The first two videos are quickies. The third is about an hour and 45 minutes long. It's a slide presentation where Faith talks about her work and at the end there is a question and answer period. Worth watching or listening to if you are interested in her work.
