Weave a sample, using a provided design. Weaving a card-woven selvedge is optional, as is my option for weaving the beginning and end to result in a hemmed sample. If you prefer a fringed finish, it is a simpler option. I will furnish a pre-measured and chained 8/5 linen warp. Also, unless you have a preferred wool weft, I will furnish wool from my favorite supplier. If you do plan to use your own weft, please let her know ahead of time. If there is an available loom, she will set up a warp for a shaft switching demonstration and anyone who is interested can try it. In fact, if a student wants to do shaft switching on their own sample, that is an option. Please be advised that it is a slower procedure. Weave a sample, using a provided design.

Pamela Hahn is exhibiting recent encaustic paintings and collages in her show “Down from the Sky” at Partners Gallery September 7 through October 9. In this body of work, Hahn began with the possibilities of her materials. She used her collection of encaustic scrapings that provided unexpected mixtures of color and texture as well as her stash of papers, printed matter and found objects. As the work progressed, themes evolved. She was introduced to a poem by Wendell Berry that begins, “I’ve come down from the sky…”. Those first words captured her imagination and resulted in the pieces titled “Down from the Sky” and “Blowing in the Wind.” During this time Hahn read about new excavations at Pompeii where she had experienced a memorable visit. She is deeply drawn to ancient cultures and artifacts. The collages, Remembering Pompeii, were inspired by having seen frescoes and walls that survived the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Meet the artist Second Saturday, September 9, 5-7. The gallery is open Thursday through Monday. It is located at 45062 Ukiah St. Mendocino. www.partnersgallery.com ... read more

A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden. Presented by the Mendocino Theatre Company. ... read more
