                          Two-Day Seminar Description
Whether you are quilt-maker interested in perfecting skills and knowledge, a quilt professional such as a teacher or appraiser, or someone interested in becoming a quilt judge, this seminar provides a thorough foundation in all aspects of quilt judging.
Participants will engage in activities on evaluating design and workmanship, the job of judging, judging terminology, and judging floor set-up. 

NACQJ Qualified Instructors will teach through demonstrations, handouts, homework, and hands-on judging exercises.

While certification requirements by the only national certifying organization for quilt judges are discussed, this seminar does not certify students nor is it a prerequisite for certification.

                      Advanced Quilt Judging Seminar
 
This seminar is intended for the following:
  • individuals who have taken the Two-Day Introduction to Quilt Judging Seminar
  • individuals who are NACQJ quilt judge candidates
  • individuals who are actively judging quilt shows
 
Covered in the 6 hours of class:
  • The Business of Judging which includes discussion of Ethics; Sharing Forms – contracts & critique sheets by both teachers and students.
  • Question and Answer – Students can ask questions or share judging experiences.  We can clarify areas of confusion & suggest solutions to problems.
  • Refining judging comments, adding clarity and detail.
  • Machine Quilting, including updates on the newest styles.
  • Design and Art Quilts.  Refresh Design Elements and Principles, critique art quilts as part of a team; spend time on Degree of Difficulty and Complexity of Design.
  • Mock Panel in preparation for the Panel evaluation of becoming a Certified Judge.  All students will participate by either being tested, being part of the evaluation panel, or watching the process.
