<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">This is a class
description for a 5 day class in shaped-resist dyeing using natural dyes,
including indigo, woad, a variety of natural dye extracts, madder root,
cochineal bugs, and walnut galls. This class is geared towards students
at various levels of experience; from the beginner to those with prior experience
and a desire to expand their vocabulary, experiment, sharpen skills and gain
greater control of materials. All levels are welcome in this class.
The beginner can expect to learn 10- 12 forms of shaped-resist (shibori),
while they gain knowledge of mordanting with alum, and dyeing with the above
mentioned natural dye stuffs. New to my classes will be the addition of a
woad dyebath, a process at once similar to and different from indigo dyeing.
As they are available, new natural dye extracts will be added to the
materials we’ll use in class (e.g. coreopsis extract). Color
shifting (with ammonia, vinegar and iron) presents additional color
possibilities for each of the dyestuffs we’ll use. For those with prior
experience, bring images of your work, or actual pieces, including
work-in-progress, if you would like to engage in a dialog about possible
directions that your work could take. Please note that this is a forum
for making samples, experimenting, and making small pieces. It will not
be possible to dye large yardages in this setting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Natural dyeing
of wool fleece necessitates a cautious approach, especially working with Merino
wool, so that fibers don’t mat in the processes prior to intentional felting.
Experience an alternative technique Klakulak uses to create a broad
palette of naturally dyed partial felt for application in surface patterning
and image articulation. Learn her strategies for layout, ideal amounts of water
and soap and the type of agitation for making quality felt as well as the
differences between wet felted partial felt and needle felted pre-felt. After
creating partially felted sheets of wool fleece in a gradation of the wool’s
natural colors, mordant and over-dye with the most light-fast natural materials
and dye extracts: Cochineal, Madder, Weld, Indigo and Walnut. The dyed sheets
of felt will then be cut and arranged on a background of loose fleece to create
various patterning effects and recognizable imagery that can be applied to the
participants future felt projects or fulled and finished for wall
display.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tell a modern story about the fabric of our communities and how we are grasping
for connectivity in a time when we do not sit together and talk while our hands
are busy working toward a unified goal. Rather, there is loss,
disconnection, fragmentation, and a landscape littered with the evidence of our
desires.” <o:p></o:p></div>

Ms. Zeman invites the community to her Opening Reception on Friday, June 24, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. A Long Island-based artist whose work has been exhibited at different venues on the Island, Ms. Zeman explains, “My color palette reflects my Long Island origins in earth tones of marsh, beach and wood. Juxtaposition of color is one of the true joys of fiber art as canvas. In my designs, I strive for abstract, free-form interpretative expressions of large and small themes, such as “survival” or “family.” Other times, I find that the textile itself and the creative process yield their own results, much like sculpting.”</font> <p><font size="3">Ms. Zeman works with textiles and mixed media to produce extraordinarily complex abstract expressionist, multi-layered, fiber art that is technically and visually stunning. She is active in East End art and non-profit organizations, and is a member of the East End Arts Council. </font> <p><font size="3">The show runs from June 24th - July 10th, Friday, Saturday, Sunday of each weekend, from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m., during which times Ms. Zeman will be happy to welcome visitors and discuss her work.</font> <p><font size="3">The Remsenburg Academy is located at 126 South Country Road, Remsenburg. Known as one of the oldest private academies on Long Island, the Remsenburg Academy building dates to the time of the Civil War and serves as a truly lovely venue for art exhibits, such as the Summer Art Series.</font> <p><strong><font color="#00ffff" size="4">M.

The leaves are joined with insects to create positive and negative spaces. The subconscious inspiration for this innovative design was born over thirty years earlier, when Joan made a sketch for an art class featuring the same elements.</font><font size="3"><br><em>The Other Messengers</em> has been exhibited over a dozen times in the United States, France, Austria and Tokyo.<br>The Museum recently acquired The Other Messengers along with a group of quilts from the 19th and 20th centuries from America and India that represent a lifetime of collecting and influenced her work.</font></p> <p><strong><font color="#00ffff" size="4">Marcia DeCamp</font></strong></p> <p>Marcia has three pieces in the juried all-media show, Images 2011, which is part of the Central PA Festival of the Arts at Penn State University, open until July 17.

As part of her grant proposal, Laurie wrote:</p> <p>" I plan to create and to exhibit, in interfaith venues, a distinctive body of Unweavings®. These fiber art pieces – using unwoven canvas, textured papers, and other materials as a foundation – will serve as my medium for integrating visual and tactile elements with texts of interwoven Muslim and Jewish spiritual and secular poetry, using Arabic and Hebrew calligraphy. The calligraphy and my own iconography – raised from the surface of the textile - will serve as both conveyors of meaning and part of the abstract patterning of each piece. In addition to combining Arabic and Hebrew calligraphy, this new body of work will also reference, in form and materials, the iconography of the veil." <p>For more information about obtaining a personal development grant as an SDA member, please visit the <a href="http://www.surfacedesign.org">SDA website.</a> Jeanne Raffer Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17080286350374492967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349321729115302869.post-63783437247137079992011-05-08T16:29:00.001-07:002011-05-08T16:29:47.654-07:00SDA NY Member News May 7, 2011<p> </p> <p><strong><font color="#80ff80" size="5">EXHIBITION NEWS</font></strong></p> <p><strong><font color="#ff8000" size="4">Susan Schrott </font></strong></p> <p><br><strong><font size="3"><em>Susan Schrott: A Celebration of Women in Textiles</em><br></font></strong><strong><font size="3"></p></font></strong> <p><font size="3">Solo Exhibition</font></p> <p><font size="3">Dates: June 2-June 23 and June 27-July 3, 2011 </font></p> <p><font size="3">Location: Flat Iron Gallery, 105 South Division Street<br>Peekskill NY 10566</font></p> <p><br><font size="3">ARTIST RECEPTION SATURDAY JUNE 4TH FROM 1-5 </font></p> <p><font size="3">Also, Susan’s</font> <font size="3">piece, “Fiddler on the Couch”, has been Juried into Sacred Threads 2011.</font> <p><font size="3"></font> <p><strong><font color="#80ff80" size="4">CLASS OPENING</font></strong> <p><font size="3">The Eastern Great Lakes Fiber Conference (EGLFC) October 7-10, 2011 in Chatauqua NY will include a two day class on Bogolanfini (Mudcloth) Modified, led by Judy Dominic.<br></font></p> <p><font size="3">The strikingly simple white design on black background cloth represents the serious artistic manner of telling the stories of village life in Mali, Africa.

Our premier show was mounted at Tannery Pond in April of 2006. We have since shown each year at the Adirondack Museum’s Fiber and Fabric Festival, as the invitational group at the Arts Center in Old Forge, at the Guilderland Public Library, at the Wings Falls Quilt Guild’s Spring Festival, and at the Spring Street Gallery in Saratoga Springs. Our members have won national prizes, mounted solo art shows and exhibited both nationally and internationally. </p> <p>ARTAA’s signature element of display is their unique approach to use of materials and techniques and a willingness to venture forward into both two and three-dimensional art forms. Specific to Tannery Pond’s exhibit will be “Inspired by Degas”, a collection of pieces first produced for a show in conjunction with the Season of Degas and his Music, promoted by the Hyde Museum in Glens Falls during the summer of 2009. </p> <p>In addition the group will be exhibiting, “Road Kill”, in which textile pieces must contain or reference an item found on or alongside a road. </p> <p><font color="#8080c0" size="5"><strong>OTHER NEWS</strong></font></p> <p>The Sketchbook Project will be on display on Thursday, April 28, 12-5 PM and Friday, April 29, 10 AM – 3 PM at the Mercer Gallery, Building 12, 114 North Atrium at Monroe Community College, 1000 East Henrietta Rd., Rochester, NY.

Experimenting with deconstructed printing, photo emulsion and stencils gave the students a wide range of possibilities. Using thickened dyes, textile paint and a wax resist on different materials allowed the students to explore mark making and textures in 2D as well as in 3D forms. Experimenting was a big part of the process and the variations were endless. Exploring different ranges of techniques such as felting, embroidery, shibori, appliqué, papermaking and mixed media was an exciting part of the creative process. Other new techniques featured at the Runway 4.0 were Nuno felting in combination with Deconstructed Screen Printing. <p>Our main focus for Runway 4.0 was on creating new patterns, yardage on silk, rayon and cotton – for actual garments as well as for wall hanging artworks at our stationary display. Diversity Mash was in our case also a celebration of different vintage textile materials, found objects, combined together in a search for a final form/transformation of those reclaimed/recycled pieces. Part of the wearable art collection is also included in a special Fiber Design Wearable Art category of the fashion show. <p>Jozef Bajus, Associate Professor<br>Coordinator of the Fiber/Design Program at BSC<br>EMAIL: <a href="mailto:BAJUSJ@buffalostate.edu">BAJUSJ@buffalostate.edu</a></p> Jeanne Raffer Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17080286350374492967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349321729115302869.post-29099675664589083442011-03-27T09:23:00.001-07:002011-03-28T14:38:31.825-07:00SDA Member News March 27, 2011<p> </p> <p><font size="5"><strong>EXHIBITION NEWS</strong></font></p> <p><strong><font size="5"></font></strong><font color="#ff8000" size="4"><strong>Northeast Regional Juried Contemporary Fiber Exhibition Opening in Rochester, NY, Friday, April 1</strong></font> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_rDkVXOgXjzc/TY9kZ8Qsj0I/AAAAAAAAE7U/BQMtUABS27s/s1600-h/RoCo_fiber_poster_sm%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px;

Rosen and Charles Cary Rumsey Galleries <p>Overabundance of Detail focuses on artists who create intricate aesthetic experiences by focusing on minute variations and fluctuations in content and form. A commitment to detail borders on obsession in some works; while in others, it reveals to us the unique nature of the objects presented. Large-scale pieces can entice from afar with rich patterns, examined closely they reveal precision. Smaller works, because of their tooling or architectural reference points, seem monumental. Works as varied as paintings, drawings, metal sculpture, and cake designs will illustrate different artist's use of extreme detail work. <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_rDkVXOgXjzc/TY9ke80xCII/AAAAAAAAE78/gJkDCEJ6I7Q/s1600-h/145%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="145" border="0" alt="145" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_rDkVXOgXjzc/TY9kfS0lioI/AAAAAAAAE8A/na0rxbhIt6A/145_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="352" height="474"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_rDkVXOgXjzc/TY9kfr7eGzI/AAAAAAAAE8E/11KMAORJbWw/s1600-h/BajusJozef%2CMC_12%2C2010%2Cvariation1onthemirror%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="BajusJozef,MC_12,2010,variation1onthemirror" border="0" alt="BajusJozef,MC_12,2010,variation1onthemirror" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_rDkVXOgXjzc/TY9kf5bLIzI/AAAAAAAAE8I/hYNbEmrFph4/BajusJozef%2CMC_12%2C2010%2Cvariation1onthemirror_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="245"></a> </p> <p><em>Jozef Bajus, Variation 1 On the Mirror</em></p> <p></p> <p></p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_rDkVXOgXjzc/TY9kgPo_oQI/AAAAAAAAE8M/dWzVI7NBvaA/s1600-h/BajusJozef%2CMC_12%2C2010%2Cvariation2%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="BajusJozef,MC_12,2010,variation2" border="0" alt="BajusJozef,MC_12,2010,variation2" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_rDkVXOgXjzc/TY9kgWXvPoI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/GI040tsnImo/BajusJozef%2CMC_12%2C2010%2Cvariation2_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="274" height="407"></a> <p></p> <p><em>Jozef Bajus, Variation 2</em></p> <p><u><font color="#ff8000" size="4"><strong>K.

This exhibition offers a unique survey and features emerging artists beginning to make a name for themselves, as well as mature artists whose work was recognized in the first major wave of New York fiber art in the 60s and 70s. All of the works were produced since 2001, and four artists - Gema Alava, Lisa Curran, Don Porcella, and Vered Sivan - have created large-scale installations for the exhibition. This survey includes forty-seven works by thirty artists and demonstrates the vibrant diversity of fiber art on the New York scene.</p> <p align="center"><br><font color="#ff00ff">An online catalogue is available at <br>www.lehman.edu/gallery</font> <br><br> <font color="#ff80ff">COMPANION EXHIBITION March 20 through May 17, 2011<br> Opening RECEPTION Sunday March 20th 2 - 5 pm<br>FIBER ­PLUS <br> A National Juried Exhibition of 21st Century Fiber with Mixed Media <br> Juror: Arle Sklar-Weinstein<br> BLUE DOOR GALLERY 13 Riverdale Avenue (south of Main Street), Yonkers, NY 10701 <br> 914-375-5100 HOURS: Friday 1-6, Saturday and Sunday 12-5 <br> info@bluedoorgallery www.bluedoorgallery.org </font></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><font color="#ffff00" size="4">Member-to-Member Requests</font></strong></p> <p><strong><font color="#ff80ff" size="3">Visiting Manhattan from Vancouver, CA</font></strong></p> <p>Ros Aylmer, an SDA member from Vancouver, Canada is traveling to NYC in April with some textile and Surface Design enthusiasts, and is wondering if our Manhattan based members have any suggestions for them while they’re in town.

The novelist Victor Hugo splashed coffee and wine on paper and found castles and monsters in the spatters. Now, author Margaret Peot shows how anyone can use inkblots as keys to creativity. <p>For decades, the author has been using the inkblots she makes to spark her own creativity. Now she shares her insights and techniques: From basic tips on paper and ink to advanced approaches for transforming splatters and ink blobs into works of art, she sets readers on a path to creating their own inkblot art. Her enthusiastic text and step-by-step approach will encourage even the most reluctant artist, and inspire readers to create works that are uniquely their own. <p>Each chapter features a step towards a more fluid relationship with the reader’s right brain: <ol> <li>Making Inkblots <li>Drawing Into Inkblots <li>How to Look, How to See <li>The Inkblot Sketchbook <li>The Final Fold</li></ol> <p>Inkblots are tools for overcoming creative blocks, for inspiring ideas, and for opening up avenues for creative expression. Anyone can use this fun and fascinating method to jump-start creative thought. <p>Boyds Mills Press, $19.95, ISBN: 978-1590787205 <p><strong><font size="4"><font color="#80ffff"></font></font></strong> <p></p> <p></p> <p><strong><font color="#80ffff" size="5"><u>CALL FOR ENTRIES: EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITY</u></font></strong></p> <p><font size="4"><font color="#ffff00">*<font size="5">THE ArT-QuILT ExPERIENCE”</font></font></font> <p><font size="3"><strong>•Prize money</strong>: Now $2,000 </font> <p><font size="3"><strong>•Exhibition dates finalized:</strong> 6/12/11 -- 7/31/11 </font> <p><font size="3">•Venue expansion: Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, Inc., co-organizer of the exhibition, will hang part of the juried art-quilts in the Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall, on the campus of Cazenovia College </font> <p><font size="3"><strong>•Juror selection finalized:</strong> </font> <p><font size="3">- Jonathan Holstein<br>- Eugenia Barnes<br>- Ann Clarke</font> <p>•<font color="#80ffff" size="3"><strong>Entries: must be postmarked by 4/15/11</strong></font> <p>•<font size="3">Entry fee:$30 for up to 2 quilts</font> <p><font color="#ffff00" size="3">For further information: www.theart-quiltexperience.com</font></p> Jeanne Raffer Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17080286350374492967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349321729115302869.post-69847196055476746252011-02-06T06:39:00.001-08:002011-02-06T09:54:26.196-08:00SDA Member News February 6, 2011<p><font color="#ff0000" size="5"><u></u></font> <p><font color="#ff0000" size="5"><u>EXHIBITIONS</u></font> <p><strong><font color="#0000ff" size="4"><font color="#ff80c0">New York Fiber in the 21st Century</font> </font></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Curated by Sandra Sider</em></strong><strong><font color="#0000ff" size="4"></font></strong></p> <p><strong><font color="#0000ff" size="4"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_rDkVXOgXjzc/TU6yVWIf7UI/AAAAAAAAEvY/VvVHYjSdCgg/s1600-h/LIGHT_small%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="LIGHT_small" border="0" alt="LIGHT_small" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_rDkVXOgXjzc/TU6yWQ_xh5I/AAAAAAAAEvc/49jlgPDvok8/LIGHT_small_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="359" height="362"></a> </font></strong></p> <p><strong><em><font size="2">Nancy Koenigsberg, “Light”, wire, knotting.</font></em></strong></p> <p><strong>Lehman College Art Gallery</strong><br><strong>February 2 - May 12, 2011<br>Reception: Monday, March 21, 6-8:00 pm</strong><br><em>The reception for the artists will include a performance by Vered Sivan. The public is invited to attend.</em> </p> <p>New York Fiber in the 21st Century focuses on artists in and near New York City who work primarily in fiber/textile materials or modes, including quilt-making, knitting, crochet, tapestry, weaving, felt making, rug hooking, embroidery, needlepoint, basketry, book arts, and metal work. This exhibition offers a unique survey and features emerging artists beginning to make a name for themselves, as well as mature artists whose work was recognized in the first major wave of New York fiber art in the 60s and 70s. All of the works were produced since 2001, and four artists - Gema Alava, Lisa Curran, Don Porcella, and Vered Sivan - will create large-scale installations for the exhibition. This survey includes forty-seven works by thirty artists and demonstrates the vibrant diversity of fiber art on the New York scene. <p><strong>An </strong><a href="http://www.lehman.edu/gallery"><strong>online catalogue</strong></a><strong> will be available after February 2.</strong></p> <p><em>Invited artists: Gema Alava, Blanka Amezkua, Xenobia Bailey, Erika Baker, Michael Cummings, Lisa Curran, Margaret Cusack, Andrea Dezsö, Marilyn Henrion, Ai Kijima, Katherine Knauer, Nancy Koenigsberg, <br>Carole P.
