The process of pressing colorful yarn into wax under the warm glow of a lamp accompanied by the sweet smell of honey is as much meditative as it is exhilarating. Preparatory work will include discussions about composition, optical color mixing, symbolism and content. In this 2 day workshop, you will learn about traditional yarn paintings of the Huichol Indians and then make a yarn painting of your own design. Working on a wood panel, you will transfer this design, prepare the surface using a melted wax medium, and adhere the yarn to the wax by pressing with a stick. A wide variety of colorful yarns and strings will be available to choose from. Techniques included are drawing, creating a composition, transferring a design, melting brushing and smoothing wax, and pressing yarn. All levels are welcome! Students should bring: If possible, please bring a Desk Lamp fitted with a bulb that produces small amount of heat, Odds-and-Ends yarn and/or string (not thread!) that you have hanging around ... read moreCategories: Community, Presentation, PublicSaturday Sep 2, 2023The yarn and string paintings of Robin Bernstein, an 18 work series about the Holocaust, as well as work about contemporary issues. Each painting is made by pressing thousands of tiny cut pieces of colored string into wax. The pieces in Beauty and Terror range from major aspects and lesser known crimes of the Holocaust as well as redemptive stories and heroic acts of resistance. Believing that art has the power to shift human behavior, Bernstein chooses subject matter, materials, and processes that support this idea. Her subject matter combined with her artistic technique is her way of shouting from the rooftops that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. These pieces exist in part to help prevent historical amnesia and to push back against rising autocracies around the world. ... read moreCategories: Community, Presentation, PublicSaturday Sep 2, 2023In August at Partners Gallery, Carolyn Schneider is exhibiting fantastic human/animals in her show “Chimera Carnival”. ... read moreCategories: Community, Public, Exhibits, ShoppingSaturday Sep 2, 2023Bring your nature lovers to become a Junior Ranger in MacKerricher State Park!
