Spring Workshops

March cannot come soon enough for many reasons. First, the weather, but mostly because I'll be teaching some interesting workshops this spring at Somerville Skillshare, The Eliot School in Jamaica Plain and Five Crows Gallery in Natick.



NEEDLEFELTED ORBS
Build your own organic growth. Learn the technique of needlefelting with wool and a barbed needle. Create a 3-dimensional orb while exploring the unique qualities of this material and process. Includes demonstrations of advanced technique using experimental materials.

Saturday, March 1
10am - 3pm
$100.00, materials fee: 20.00




FELTED ORBS
A demonstration on how to build a wooly organic growth! Learn the technique of needlefelting with wool and a barbed needle. Try your hand at creating an orb while exploring the unique qualities of this material and process. Look for me at 3pm in the Yoga Room!

Sunday, March 2
12-6pm
Center for Arts at the Armory

SCULPTURAL CROCHET
Combine traditional crochet with unconventional materials, transforming fiber and raw materials into evocative sculptural constructions. Explore the anatomy of the stitch, its actions, character and dimensions, in the creation of forms and textured surfaces. Play with scale, using materials from wire to plastic to wool, and looking at work by fiber artists in the process. You will use adaptations of several different genres of crochet in this class.

Sundays, March 16 and 23
10am - 4pm
$160.00, materials fee: 20.00 




FIBER JEWELRY
Create inventive jewelry by combining traditional technique with experimental materials. Use wire or fiber and objects of your own design. We'll cover knitting and crocheting with wire, incorporating finishes, assembly of pieces, felting, simple wirework and beading.

$150.00, materials fee: 20.00

Cornered

 It's been an eventful week:

Wonderful article in Artscope's online zine CORNERED. Thanks to Brian Goslow and the Artscope staff for their interest! Check it out here.

A lively HIVE gathering at Fruitlands last Wednesday. We introduced six new people to the joys of working collaboratively. Hope to see them again this Thursday from 4-6 pm.


Saturday was the reception for MORPHOLOGY with Kay Hartung at Fountain Street Fine Art. We had a lively bunch and it was fun to meet so many new people. Artist talk this Friday, June 14 at 7:30 pm and a free Needlefelting demo on Wednesday June 19 from 3:30-5pm. Please join us!



Sunday I taught part I of a two-part workshop on Needlefelted Orbs at the Eliot School. A very talented group with interesting stories and approaches. Can't wait to see what they do next Sunday.


Back to work on the final details of my upcoming show THE NOBILITY OF THINGS opening at Fruitlands Museum on June 29. Reception June 29 from 1-3pm. Hope to see you. We're expecting a good time and my son Devon will be providing music!
