Studio Art Quilts are simply quilts made to be displayed as artwork on a wall. Usually created in a dedicated studio, rarely are they simple. Most of David's art quilts were made with his hand-painted fabric, Artistic Fabric ®. These quilts are colorfast as well as fade resistant. He often uses real gems when embellishing with beadwork.

Polymer clay is a manmade material that remains pliable for long periods, but bakes or "cures" to hardness in an ordinary home oven. It can be sculpted, carved, stamped, textured, sanded, buffed, drilled and painted. Polymer clay is a type of "clay" based on synthetic polymer (polyvinyl chloride). It is not the same as an earth clay which must be fired in a kiln, nor the same as air drying clays, nor the same as modeling clays which won't dry and can't be hardened.
