(September 28, 2017) – The University Galleries at Florida Atlantic University, in collaboration with contemporary Danish textile artist Isabel Berglund, is inviting the public to take part in community “Knit Together” workshops from Monday, Oct. 16 through Wednesday, Oct. 25. The free workshops will result in several hundred textile pieces that the artist will combine with her own to create a huge sculpture. Workshops will be scheduled at a number of local community organizations and at FAU. There also will be “Stitch Together” workshops from Saturday, Oct. 21 through Wednesday, Nov. 1 at FAU’s Schmidt Center Gallery, which will be open to the public and FAU students every day except Sundays. Any interested community groups or individual participants can take part in this project by contacting the University Galleries at 561-297- 2661 or by emailing Cynthia Stucki at [email protected]. In the “Knit Together” workshops, the artist will guide and assist participants with the creation of patterns made from the drawings of their homes or examples from previous workshops. Participants will hand-knit a simple design resembling the size and shape of their residence or a home they remember. These floorplans will be made at one-twentieth the size of their home. Knitting instructions will be provided and those who know how to knit will be encouraged to use their favorite stitch and preferred needle size to create their own personal handprint on the surface of the knitted or crocheted patch.

  • Color, and the Tactile Joy of Finger Painting
    Tapestry Topics A Quarterly Review of Tapestry Art Today www.americantapestryalliance.org Summer 2010 Vol 36 No 2 On Designing for Tapestry by Thoma Ewen Within each of us is a deep well of creativity. It is linked to spirit and to the life force, and it is essential to well being. I often send my students outside to look at the natural environment. To me, everything begins with what you see as being beautiful. I am an artist because I wish to partici- pate in beauty. When I design and weave, my desire is to communicate the beauty that I feel. Designing tapestry begins with something I see in the natural environment that moves me. It's as if I take a visual impression of the feeling that a particular scene evokes in me. This transforms into a visual image in my mind. I give this process time and stay in touch with the feeling all the way through the designing and weaving process. I work with the visual image, exploring the feeling through drawings. I often do many Thoma Ewen at her loom. pastel drawings as studies before selecting the one I will weave into tapestry. I use the drawing that best captures the feeling. In my recent series Aurora Borealis Behind the Trees there are 10 drawings and four tapestries. Discover and enjoy your own creativity by playing with drawing or painting materials. If you feel inadequate, blocked, or stuck, watch young children finger paint. Try it yourself, as it is very freeing to lose yourself in the pure color, and the tactile joy of finger painting.

  • American Quilts
    CATALOGUE AMERICAN QUILTS 1819 -- 1948 From the Museum Collection Compiled by Mildred Davison The Art Institute of Chicago, Department of Decorative Arts Exhibition April 20, 1959 - October 19, 1959 AMERICAN QUILTS 1819 - 1948, FROM THE MUSEUM COLLECTION The Art Institute of Chicago, April Z0 1 1959 --October 19, 1959 Although patchwork has been known and practised since ancient times, nowhere has it played such a distinctive and characteristic part as in the bed covers of early America where it added the finishing touches to eighteenth and nineteenth century bed chambers. The term "patchwork" is used indiscriminately to include the pieced and the appliqued quilts. Pieced quilts are generally geometric in pattern being a combination of small patches sewn together with narrow seams. The simplest form of pieced pattern is the eight-pointed star formed of diamond shaped patches. This was known as the Star of Le Moyne, named in honor of Jean Baptiste Le Moyne who founded New Orleans in 1718, and from it was developed numerous others including all of the lily and tulip designs. In applique quilts, pieces were cut to form the pattern and appliqued to a back - ground material with fine hemming or embroidery stitches, a method which gave a wider scope for patterns. By 1850, applique quilts reached such a degree of elaboration that many years were spent in their making and they were often intend­ ed for use as counterpanes. The most common fabrics for quilts were plain and figured calicoes and chintzes with white muslin..., The source of these materials in early times and pioneer communities was the scrap bag.
