MEMBER NEWS
Edie Brown:
"Edie Brown's work has been accepted into the juried fiber art exhibition at Santa Cruz Art League. The exhibit will be open Saturday, Aug. 11-Sunday, Sept. 9, 2012. A reception for the artists will be held on Saturday, August 18th, 3-5pm. See www.scal.org for more information."
Leslie Carabas :
The Phoenix Gallery presented Inside Out, a solo exhibition of new works by LESLIE CARABAS at the Phoenix Gallery in New York in September.
Carabas’ practice investigates the quilted stitch as visual mediator. In this series it bridges the gap between mass-produced and hand dyed fabrics, while simultaneously exploring the creative opportunities presented by exposing the layers upon which it works. The quilter’s traditions are turned inside out in an effort to give form to the emotional life of woman with Bernina in the post-industrial age.
Leslie’s career spans almost 40 years. Her work has been shown throughout Europe and the United States as well as in Taiwan and Japan and is represented in numerous private and corporate collections. For more information visit http://www.lesliecarabas.com.
Please join us at our reception on September 6th, from 6:00 to 8:pm, to meet the artist at the Phoenix Gallery in New York City. For more information visit

Lynn Koolish: Beyond Function: Fiber, Fabric, and Finery
August 17 – December 2, 2012 at the de Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University
http://www.scu.edu/desaisset/exhibitions/fabric.cfm
The eleven Northern California artists participating in this exhibition have taken their chosen medium to the level of fine art through their innovative techniques and meticulous workmanship. A wide variety of media is represented, from traditional quilts and kimonos to embroidery and hand-knitted lace, all with the common goal of being appreciated for their aesthetic value rather than their usefulness. In addition, many of the artists incorporate found or recycled materials, giving them a new life beyond their original purpose. The exhibition includes the work of Yvonne Porcella, Joan Schulze, Therese May, Lynn Koolish, Stephanie Metz, Jenne Giles, and Steve MacDonald who explore new possibilities with familiar materials such as fabric, felt, and thread. This exhibition is guest-curated by Sheryl Nonnenberg.

Joy Stocksdale:
Polychromatic Screen Printing workshop in Joy Stocksdale's Sebastopol Studio on Sunday, Sept 16, 9:30 am - 4:30 pm:
An excellent workshop for painters, monoprinters, watercolorists, textile artists, screen printer, or anyone interested in obtaining multiples from one painted image on paper or fabric. Why labor over one painting when you can paint once and get multiples. The innovative process of polychromatic screen printing results in a limited edition from the original painted screen — with no color registration. Similar to an extended monoprint process that produces 5-8 prints from a single painted image. Students complete one print session. No solvents used. For all levels of ability. Six students only $70--includes some materials. For more information 707/829-1756 or email joystocks@comcast.net.
