Monoprinting and Indigo Dyeing Demonstration

Last Friday I participated in a monoprinting demo at Friday night at Liberty Station here in San Diego at the Bravo School of Art.  I will be teaching another monoprinting workshop on October 17th from 10-4pm. Stay tuned for dates about the Indigo Dyeing workshop coming up!

MATISSE AT THE MOMA!!

Not just any Matisse, my favorite Matisse!! And favorite works of art EVER. Ahhh!! I just got tickets to the Henri Matisse Jazz Cut Outs retrospective at the MOMA!!!

I feel like a little kid again, excited and waiting for Christmas ( I am going December 27th)....This show was recently in London and was the most successful show the Tate has ever put on....."Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs is a groundbreaking reassessment of this important body of work. The largest and most extensive presentation of the cut-outs ever mounted, the exhibition includes approximately 100 cut-outs—borrowed from public and private collections around the globe—along with a selection of related drawings, prints, illustrated books, stained glass, and textiles. The last time New York audiences were treated to an in-depth look at the cut-outs was in 1961."


Working with kiddies

This summer I had the privilege of becoming the Director of the Craft House at the Boys and Girls Club of Bay View, Michigan.  It was an excellent success, working with wood ,textiles, glue, paint, beads, and thousands of materials collected from donations from over the years. 



Etsy!

Electric Forest prints available on Etsy. These screen prints were inspired from the amazing music festival, The Electric Forest, in Rothbury Michigan that I have attended the last three summers. There is nothing in the world like the forest. Check it out if you have time next June!

Monoprinting workshop at the Athenaeum

The printing workshop was an absolute success! It was fun to explore printing without a press.  The students had a blast and were grateful they could make monoprints at home.  There will be another workshop April 12th and 13th.
