There is a magazine named Quilting Arts which is wonderful. I get it at JoAnn's with the 40% coupon.

I am just starting to try a few mixed media things- lots of fun, but I am not sure it would be called art!

The website for Quilting Arts (www.quiltingarts.com)is great- lots of freebies especially is you sign up (which is free).

That is a wonderful magazine if you are interested in quilt art. Each edition has so many ideas to try. I have bought some older issues on Ebay to complete my sets. If their sale is still going on, they had back issues for $4.95..

I agree that Quilting Arts is a wonderful source of information.
Quilt University has a lots of non-traditional classes and adds more each semester.
http://www.quiltuniversity.com/catalog.htm
The websites and blogs of many of the fiber and mixed-media artists have loads of tips, tricks, techniques and tutorials as well. Check the SAQA website for artists names and links to many of their sites.

There is also a great deal of information at the QuiltArt site (and even more if you subscribe to the mail list).

Wish I could help you. I don't make art quilts -- just not creative enough. :roll:

I do art quilts but don't know of website resources. I would just google "art quilts". Before I started using fabric as an art medium, I experimented for years with other media -- paint, watercolor, graphite, pastel, etc. I often use textile paint to modify fabrics and I've even used pastel and pencil.

Both Quilting Arts and Cloth Paper Scissors magazines have a lot of good technique articles. Both also have websites with supplemental photos and templates, etc.

If you go to Flickr and search for art quilts you can find enough to keep you busy for a good long time.

Stampington Co. has a lot of related products, and some nice articles and links.
