Happy Horsey Year
Wow has it been busy lately!
I am excited about new warps and colors. Finished off "Coffee with Cream and some Alfalfa" yesterday and winding off some warps for neckties today, tyeing on a beachy blue and green scarf warp.
Starting off 2014 with several new projects, one of which is the Empty Bowls project with the Second Harvest Food Bank. While I am still one of the Fiber Bitches of Fiber Company (a title that is well-earned) the time I've spent working with potters and painters has not been wasted! For the next few months I get to travel with bisqueware and underglazes in northwest North Carolina communities and share the bowls and colors, take them back to be fired and all of these community creations will be available at the Empty Bowls Event in April, raising funds and awareness for hunger in all of Northwest North Carolina.. and supporting the Food Bank, which in turn supports the local Food Pantries
And....
I've got an awesome Surface Design class scheduled to begin in March at the Art Alliance of Greensboro that is fun. All of the students have been great, playful and flexible. Something to really look forward to !This tinme we will be marbling on fabric, more printing -- silk screening, carved blocks, photo transfer, applique, resist and a few other things.
And a short workshop in \Social Media and Art- an Introduction March 20 at the Dan River Art Market & Gallery in Wentworth (that will have follow-up opportunities with the Business and Technology ). For those that like a social workshop setting and want to know what choices there are for social media in visual art,
Plus...
My pal and BFF Dee is selling off her studio so I'm weaving off her warps to help clean up looms for sale. If you have room for one more loom she is really doing this! And Yarn. She has awesome yarns. Contact me at Fiber Company, email me and I'll put you in touch.
With...
Grants. Why does the world come due in March.. well, it does. For me. But funding is always a good thing. Residencies, festivals, projects and all the great community that comes together for art and culture is what makes life even more fun.
guess I will add pictures here later.. it is no-load Tuesday!
Happy 2014!
