You don't have to choose between fear and hype.

Everyone around you has an opinion about AI. Half of them say it will ruin everything you love. The other half say you're already behind. Neither is telling you what you actually want to know: what is this thing, and what do I do with it? That's what these AI classes for quilters and creatives are built to answer. Each course takes one topic, AI basics, scams and synthetic voices, color, technique, and walks through it in plain language, one step at a time. I've taught these classes to thousands of people through guilds, libraries, and national festivals like QuiltCon. Now they're here, starting with AI 101, on demand. And if you don't quilt? You're still in the right place. The AI courses are for everyone. The quilting is just how I got here.

Meet your instructor

I'm Theresa Benson, The AI Quilter. I'm a quilter, an author, and a longtime product and marketing executive, which means I've spent decades explaining complicated things to everyday people who don't have time for jargon.

I'm the author of Digital Muse, a book about bringing AI into one's creative process. I'm also an instructor for guilds and library systems nationally, and I've taught at popular venues like QuiltCon and h+h Americas. One attendee put it better than I can: "You brought a very technical topic down to an understandable level."

My promise in every course is the same one I make in every lecture hall: you'll leave knowing enough to decide how to apply what you've learned for yourself. 

Your craft, your judgment, your call.

Your questions, answered.

  • Do I need to be "good with technology" to take these courses?

    No. Every course assumes you're smart and busy, not technical. If you can watch a video and pause it, you have all the skills required. I explain everything else.

  • I don't quilt. Are these classes still for me?

    Yes. The quilting is how I got here, not a requirement. The AI and creativity courses are built for anyone curious; the technique and color courses are for makers of all kinds.

  • Are the courses live or on-demand?

    On demand. AI 101 is ready now: watch it on your schedule, pause when life happens, and rewatch as many times as you like. More on-demand courses are on the way.

  • What's your refund policy?

    All sales are final. Every course page tells you exactly what's inside before you buy, and if you have a question first, send me an email by using the Contact button at theaiquilter.com .
