NEVER RESIST PAINTING
A RAINBOW
Workshop with Beverley McInnes
Saturday, April 7, 2001
9-4, Garden Club
$35 members, $45 non-members, materials fee $15
A One Day Workshop for those PASSIONATELY addicted to
Fiber. Do you remember the wonderful
slide show last April's program presented by Beverley McInnes? Because of the great response from the
guild, she has agreed to return with a workshop on how to use some exciting
found objects and embellishments. This
one day workshop will introduce the participants to Iron On Transfer Painting
using a variety of fabrics. Favorite landscapes and gardens or any
"look" the student wishes to capture will be translated onto fabric
for later use in any piece of work. This fast and easy technique will be
thoroughly explored during our time together.
Embellishing, adding texture, dyeing and applying
transparent overlays, nettings, laces, ribbons and silhouetted shapes are a few
of the techniques included in the workshop.
New and different materials which include sea (fish) leathers, punchinello,
familiar household items, metal screening and a myriad of found objects add
texture and interest as the many possibilities of each participant's work
become apparent.

MUSEUM EXHIBIT
Spirit of the Cloth: Contemporary Quilts by African American
Artists
February 15- May 13, 2001
The exhibition includes 51 quilts created using a wide
variety of materials and techniques. Every quilt was chosen to reflect the rich
diversity of approaches to the quilt format among African American artists
today. Each quilt conveys the individuality of its maker; as a whole, the
exhibition is a testament to the hundreds of African American artists active
today in all regions of America. These intriguing works provide a forum for
sharing the stories, memories and visions of the artist. The exhibition is
organized by the American Craft Museum, New York, in collaboration with the
Women of Color Quilter's Network and with co-curator Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi.
Call: (352) 392-9826 during Museum Hours
The Harn Museum of Art is located on the University of
Florida Campus, Gainesville
