ART
Today we continued working on our tapestries. Everyone seems to enjoy this process, which makes me very happy as it is my favorite as well!
We are using a variety of materials and colors. I’ve been fairly hands off in my instruction and instead helping guide them as to what colors or materials they are drawn to. They have definitely impressed me!!
We just have one more week and then it’s time for the final exhibition! I am so excited! Please join if you are available and nearby!
These past few weeks we have started weaving! Each student has her own lap loom that we dressed with cotton warp. They each are doing plain weave and also some other techniques, like rya knots.
It took a little bit of time to get each person’s loom set up with the warp, but once they all got set up and learned the basics, they really got going! They are using a variety of yarn, ribbon, fabric strips, and trims to create their weavings.
I’m super excited to be a part of the Discovery: Emerging Artists 2019 exhibition at Stone Quarry Hill in Cazenovia, NY!
The opening is June 1st, from 5pm - 7pm and the gallery will be open June 1st - June 30th, Thursdays through Sundays noon tp 4pm.
We’ve been busy these past few weeks! We worked on our embroidery paintings and then did shibori indigo dyeing!
One of the most magical moments so far is when someone starts humming or singing while embroidering and then they all start singing songs together. It’s great.
I just participated in my first ever open studios as part of Dumbo Open Studios!
I just wrote a little recap on my Distill Creative blog and check out a video tour below.
These last few weeks we’ve been focused on embroidery. We started with samplers to learn a variety of stitches and now we are start on our artwork.
To start, I asked everyone to write out a recent dream. It was hard for most people, myself included, to remember a dream, but it did help many of them think of some imagery and get started on their piece. Next, they picked out fabric to use as the backdrop to their piece. They picked out colors and started translating their image onto their fabric.
They also used sequins and beads to embellish their work.
I can’t wait to see the final projects!
