MPQG was founded in 1979; we have over 200 members. Our quilters are not only artists, but very generous givers. Over the years the guild has donated hundreds of quilts to those in need, including victims of natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the Soberanes fire. Just last month MPQG provided over 75 quilts to the victims of the January fires in Southern California. We have an ongoing campaign to provide twin bed quilts to the Shuman HeartHouse so that every bed had a lovingly made quilt and we make regular, ongoing donations to several local community organizations including local NICU units, renal care patients, breast cancer patients, and many other charity needs. Last year our guild donated over 930 items to local charities.
We are a 501c.3 non-profit organization. For more information about MPQG, go to: www.mpqg.org

Soul Collage is an insightful, incredible, dynamic activity. A collage is a powerful visual tool to focus your intentions; create a collage of images that will express your visions, your desires, your dreams and goals. Collage speaks to the subconscious which invites and allows incredible miracles to happen, dreams to manifest, goals to be realized, and our visions to become real. This is a playful process of creative fun. It might becomes one of your favorite past times, and now it is happening every first Saturday of the month!

There will be a short PowerPoint presentation of collages. You are welcome to bring images and personal photos, sharp scissors, and magazines. Everything else will be provided including more magazines

Love nature, science, and art but don’t know where to start? Here is your opportunity to master a new skill and bring home your own environmentally-inspired masterpiece after just one class.
Celebrate Micro May and The Art of Nature through stipple art, which uses small dots to create the impression of texture, shading, or solidity. Learn this unique art style through step-by-step instruction by a master scientific illustrator. After a nature walk to gain knowledge of miniscule local flora and fauna, apply your observations to hue composition, shadow and light techniques, color theory, mixing media, building layers, creating a palette, and more. This class is perfect for aspiring artists or creative naturalists with no prior experience, only a big passion for tiny arts and sciences.
Participants will have a completed art piece to take home at the conclusion of the workshop. Open to ages 16+/all experience levels. All supplies included.
This class takes place outside, under a tent. Dress appropriately for the outdoors.
