Congratulations to all the artisans at the PLEASE VISIT MARTHASTEWART.COM FOR INFO RMATION ON OUR 2013 AMERICAN MADE PROGRAM Salute from the Honorary Chairman As a passionate advocate for excellence in all things, I am delighted to act as Honorary Chairman of the Smithsonian Craft Show. This renowned exhibition and sale of fine American craft brings joy and inspiration to everyone who comes to admire, to learn, and to shop. I am particularly excited to be here having recently completed our first “Made in America Challenge,” an initiative that celebrates and rewards design, creativity and entrepreneurship. The 121 craft artists selected for this year’s Smithsonian Craft Show epitomize all three qualities. Looking at the crafts on display one can see the masterful work of talented human hands. Look for an object that speaks most particularly to you. It could be an exquisite ceramic serving piece, a beautifully woven blanket, a painstakingly carved wooden spoon, or an eye-catching hat. Perhaps you will find a brilliant glass artifact, a breathtaking example of paper art, or a piece of jewelry to enhance the fabric of your everyday life. I commend the Smithsonian Women’s Committee for producing this outstanding show, for supporting the artists and encouraging their entrepreneurship. I am also pleased to know that the proceeds will be distributed throughout the Smithsonian by the Committee in the form of grants, many of which help fund innovation and research. Thank you for including me.

  • A Selection of Details from My Graduate Portfolio - Created to Display My Year Process As an ‘Exhibition’
    AMELIA WANG a selection of details from my graduate portfolio - created to display my year process as an ‘exhibition’ instagram: @ameliawang.design email: [email protected] AMELIA WANG exhibition, curation, display. I hope for my graduate collection to be viewed as an exhibition. It is a halt in time, to capture and re-tell memories that are held within clothing. I have specifically placed focus on personal family stories since the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). The collection objectifies and presents the experiences of three generations within my family: from my Popo (paternal Chinese grandmother) to my Baba (father), and also me. I have designed garments which cross classical fashion boundaries, steering from what usual connotations of ‘fashion’ are, and instead functioning across both commercial and non-commercial contexts. The collection should be appreciated as a build-up of memories and experiences coming together with the present in both wearable and scultpural ways; to be appreciated whether it is on a living and moving body or not.

  • Opens March 30 at Smithsonian American Art Museum's
    March 30, 2018 Media only: [email protected] Media website: americanart.si.edu/pr “No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man” Opens March 30 at Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery Exhibition Brings Large-Scale Installations From Famed Desert Gathering to Washington Cutting-edge artwork created at Burning Man, the annual desert gathering that is one of the most influential events in contemporary art and culture, will be exhibited in the nation’s capital for the first time this spring. “No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man” will take over the entire Renwick Gallery building, exploring the maker culture, ethos, principles and creative spirit of Burning Man. Several artists will debut new works in the exhibition. In addition to the in-gallery presentation, the Renwick exhibition will expand beyond its walls for the first time through an outdoor extension titled “No Spectators: Beyond the Renwick,” displaying sculptures throughout the surrounding neighborhood. Nora Atkinson, the museum’s Lloyd Herman Curator of Craft, is organizing the exhibition in collaboration with the Burning Man Project, the nonprofit organization responsible for producing the annual Burning Man event in Black Rock City. The outdoor extension of the exhibition is presented in partnership with Washington, D.C.’s Golden Triangle Business Improvement District, a 43-square-block neighborhood that stretches from the White House to Dupont Circle. The Burning Man community was instrumental in suggesting artworks for inclusion in the exhibition. “No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man” opens March 30, 2018. The Renwick is the sole venue for the exhibition, which will close in two phases.

  • 2019 Proceedings Las Vegas, Nevada
    Las Vegas, Nevada 201 9 Proceedings Art is the Flower, Life is the Green Leaf Erin French, Iowa State University, USA Keywords: Quilt, art, Mackintosh, Scotland Contextual Review and Concept Submission context. Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) was a Scottish architect, interior designer, and artist who designed the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) building (Macaulay, 2010). The GSA as an institution of higher education and as a building made a major contribution to a unique visual movement known as the Glasgow Style, which was characterized by forms found in nature such as roses, seeds, and leaves as well as by its emphasis on linearity through vertical lines, elongated forms, and repeated squares (Euler, 2008; Wood, 2004). Nearly a century after Mackintosh’s death, his design, buildings, and artwork continue to inspire fashion designers, fabric designers, and fiber artists. Within the past 10 years, collections by Giorgio Armani, Christopher Kane, and Issey Miyake have featured garments influenced by Mackintosh and the Glasgow Style (Blank, 2010; Blank, 2015; Mower, 2018). Campbell (2008) created a kimono from digitally printed fabric that was inspired by Mackintosh’s fabric designs and the GSA building. In terms of fiber arts, Wood (2004) demonstrated how the major motifs of Mackintosh’s work could serve as inspiration for embroidery designs. I studied, lived, and worked in the Glasgow area for five years and was granted library privileges at the GSA as I studied for my master’s degree. These experiences led me to form an intellectual and emotional bond with the GSA building that moving back to the United States did not break.

Next to the President’s House was an orchard, which was identified as President’s Park. When President Jefferson moved into the President’s House in 1801, he noted that the country residence was “free from the noise, the heat...and the bustle of a close built town.” Over the next 100 years, the neighborhood developed with many fashionable homes, including the Octagon and the Ringgold Residence.

Textile design is a creative field that fulfills a variety of purposes in our lives such as our clothing, carpets, drapes, towels, and historically wall coverings. The creations of patterned textiles are not only important for their use, but also for the role they play in the fashion industry. Textile designers have the ability to inspire collections, trends, and styles. The textile industry, while being a creative art form, is a very business savvy industry. Textile designers marry a creative vision of what a finished textile will look like with a deep understanding of the technical aspects of production and the properties of fibre, yarn, and dyes.
