The governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, signed Senate Bill 133 into law on Tuesday (2 June), creating a new type of limited liability company in the state called an Artist Company. Jeff Bridges, a Colorado state senator, is one of the bill’s authors and argues that the legal structure formalises the work of artists and recognises artists as a labour group, allowing them to monetise their labour and retain intellectual property rights.

Last chance to register!

Paper Curves is a five-day retreat where you’ll build your skills from the ground up: starting with foundation paper piecing fundamentals and working toward designing your own stunning curved quilts. Daisy is an award-winning quilt designer and author of Quilting with Curves, and she brings both precision and a deep love of creative freedom to everything she teaches — helping students find their own artistic voice while truly mastering the technique.

You’ll explore fabric selection, color palettes, and how to move from a sketch to a finished piece that feels completely yours. And the best part? No curved piecing experience needed!

This is your last opportunity to claim your spot before doors close — don’t let it slip by. Sign up via the link in our bio or at EstelleCreativeArts.com
