Patti Digh and I are collaborating.
We are teaching a one day workshop in San Diego, California on March 17, called Geography of Loss Workshop: Creating an Art Quilt Map.
I'm preparing and getting excited! Hope you'll join us.
I'm busy assembling little bags of cloth,embellishments, a piece of beautiful felt for each student, and some handouts for stitching and more creative ideas to do with cloth.
here's the description of our workshop:
Geography of Loss Workshop: Creating an Art Quilt Map
Two master teachers, an extraordinary journey, a work of art with deep meaning.
We have all experienced loss of some kind -- death, the end of relationship, a child leaving home, betrayal, our own aging, or the loss of "what could have been." It is an integral part of the shared human condition, and yet a very personal one as well.
This inspirational workshop will combine language and art to help you find your way through loss… with a soft map…and will be limited to 25 participants.
The day will not be all about loss… but also about life, great love, and humor, and community. And beauty.
This one-day art and writing experience is a journey into that loss, on a deeply personal level. We'll combine writing, cloth and paper to create a personal art quilt about loss in your life--whatever that means to you at this moment in time. You'll write to prompts provided by Patti Digh and then with artist Jane LaFazio's guidance, creating 6 or so small, layered, stitched squares of cloth and paper as we work our way through the day together. You'll leave with a small finished art quilt and a deeper understanding of your new map through grief and loss.

I am signed up for the workshop already and seeing your preparation for it and the bits and pieces you've assembled for us -like little treasures-is getting me soooo excited and happy that I am able to participate. I love how you build the anticipation! Can't wait for the workshop.
ReplyDeleteI so want to do this!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! wish I lived on that other coast!! Have a wonderful time and I know that you will share!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Oh, how I wish I lived nearby; I have been working on a similar idea using emotions, but would have loved to join in this class.. especially since I am working through some big emotions right now..
ReplyDeleteI so loved your watercolor class in Nov/Dec. This workshop sounds fantastic. I hope you might figure a way to offer this online someday. I know it wouldn't be the same but some of us just can't travel that far. cheryl g
ReplyDeleteGreat theme, wonderful collaboration. Unfortunately, physical geography prevents me from personally taking part.
