The supplies are ordered! The scarves are drying! The class is full!

My workshop at the Frist will go well, I hope. Above you see some of the dozens of scarves I’m preparing for it, drying in my living room. When you’re an artist, you learn to take advantage of what space you have to get what you need done. In this case, it meant stringing up cotton twine across our living room several times to drape the 100 or so scarves on in order to dry.

Now I just have to fold them all!

I plan to take some photos during the workshop and post them here as well. I am looking forward to it and think it will be lots of fun and educational, of course. We should have a different camera then, so they won’t be a camera phone photo like above.

I am very happy to announce that I will be doing a workshop at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts on Saturday, September 13, in conjunction with their exhibition, Color As Field: American Painting, 1950–1975.

One of my favorite pieces from the show, Floral V by Morris Louis.

It will be held from 10 am – 4 pm that Saturday at the Frist, and the price of the workshop includes free admission to the exhibition. We will be using the works in the show to inspire us to create our own masterpieces on scarves. Each workshop participant will go home with several silk scarves and lots of new knowledge. You can make your own wearable art piece and show it off to friends and family!

It is only $40 for members, and $45 for non-members. All supplies are included. That’s a good deal for a workshop of this kind.

I hope to see you there!
