QOF Episode 200 - Este Macleod

Today is like the color confidential episode of the Quilter on Fire podcast except its not confidential – we are going to spill the beans on color. My guest today uses colour as a principal element in her work, applied in layers, and created with the intention to surprise, evoke calming emotions and a sense of joy. Today I’ll have a chat with professional artist and designer Estè MaCleod. She is a professional artist and designer with a background in textile and surface design. Her art has hung in galleries in the UK and internationally and she often turns her work into designs that are licensed for use on products like Free Spirit Fabric, wallpaper, ceramics and more. She also teaches a selection of online courses with a focus on creativity and combining techniques in acrylics and water based media and she’s well known for her Coloricombo weekly creative prompt of colour where she shares a palette chosen from colours that have caught her. Go to Este's website right here: https://www.estemacleod.com/Want to travel with Brandy?2025 FESTIVAL OF QUILTS Birmingham!!!
