IN THE STUDIO – Nov. 4 with Nadine Flagel

Nadine Flagel – Slow art vs. Fast fashion

 

Poster for Nadine Flage's In the Studio talk
IN THE STUDIO WITH NADINE FLAGEL – WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2020; 1-2 PM EASTERN (11-NOON MOUNTAIN)

Join Nadine Flagel as she talks about works-in-progress that explore the implications of fast fashion by restaging and reusing post-consumer textiles. Specifically, her works explore the rag yard as a source of crisis and creativity. Learn about moving between ideas and patterns, between technical problem-solving and more abstract concepts. The central concept will be the snag: the emergence of the unexpected, the jolting sensation when your sweater catches on a rusty nail. Whereas others might see snags as imperfections, difficulties, or dangers, we can see moments that require presence, that require the rug hooker’s celebration of discarded, damaged fabric and fibres.

Judi Miller, textile artist
IN THE STUDIO WITH JUDI MILLER – WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2020; 1-2 PM EASTERN (11-NOON MOUNTAIN)

 

Join Canadian Textile Artist, Judi Miller, as she discusses her experiences with artist residencies and answers the questions: What is a residency? What are the expectations? And are you ready to attend?

Judi is a textile artist specializing in free motion embroidery. Using a variety a threads, colour, and weights, she creates pieces with finely stitched details on a painted, fabric base. She uses her sewing machine as her choice of artist’s tool, no different from a paint brush or pencil.

Her inspiration springs from so many sources, but most often she explores the natural landscape of the Ottawa area. Her embroidery technique lends itself to capturing light, colour, and movement that all help to create a strong sense of memory and place.

Judi Miller has exhibited and taught workshops across Ontario and has had a number of solo exhibits of her work. She did her first artist residency in 2017 at Stiwdio Maelor in Corris, Wales. Her second artist residency was at Artscape Gibraltar Point, Toronto Island, in 2019.

IN THE STUDIO – Sept. 9 with Meryl Cook

 

Meryl Cook:
The basics of the Chakra colour system and how Meryl applies it to her intuitive design process.

 

In the Studio with Meryl Cook - a Zoom talk
IN THE STUDIO WITH MERYL COOK – SEPTEMBER 9, 2020; 1-2 PM EASTERN (11-NOON MOUNTAIN)

 

Colour, texture, joy and self-compassion are the key features of Meryl Cook’s beautifully crafted hooked mats, her books about her journey from homeopath to artist and journal writer, and her journal writing practice. Meryl is the author of One Loop at a Time, a story of rughooking, healing and creativity (2016) and One Loop at a Time, The Creativity Workbook (2017).

What makes Meryl’s process unique is the ties between her writing and design. This introspective process includes writing on the linen around the design highlighting the inspiration for each mat, selecting colours based on Chakra colour theory, and using techniques that follow the healing energy to produce an intuitive, abstract design. Each mat represents the next step in her life journey.

Since 2016, Meryl has spoken and taught creativity workshops across Canada and in the U.S. A juried member of Craft Nova Scotia, her work has appeared in the Craft Nova Scotia Member’s Exhibition (2019 & 2020 (upcoming)), and as a special exhibit at Sauder Village Rug Hooking Week (2018). What began as a way of holding space for herself following breast cancer treatment has become a career as an artist and as a corporate team facilitator focusing on well-being and engagement.

Join Meryl Cook as she shares the basics of the Chakra colour system and how she applies it to her intuitive design process. Come prepared to play with colour and to take a tour of Meryl’s “Wild Women” mats.

IN THE STUDIO – August 27 with Global Textile Hub

Learn All About Global Textile Hub ‘s 2021 Juried Virtual Exhibition “Re-Imagined,” a Collaboration with a Difference-
Make the Ordinary Extraordinary!

 

Info on Global Textile Hub's in the Studio visit
IN THE STUDIO WITH GLOBAL TEXTILE HUB – AUGUST 26, 2020; 7-8 PM EASTERN (5-6 PM MOUNTAIN); Brought to us by Karen Miller Studio.

 

Note that this is a “special” IN THE STUDIO to take place in the evening in North America. It is also a free event, but you must reserve a place. See info below.

The exhibition theme “Make the Ordinary Extraordinary” challenges textile artists from around the world to collaborate with each other or artists from other disciplines. The aim is to promote the diversity of textile art practices.

Jo Franco and Judi Tompkins, two of the three Australian organizers (with Kira Mead) are pioneers and innovators for textile exhibitions in a virtual online gallery – Global Textile Hub. Their first juried show featured Southern Hemisphere fiber artists using a variety of rug making techniques with mixed media. This premiered in 2018, as the 2021 exhibit will, with a launch during Sauder Village Rug Hooking Week in August. Susan Feller is the lead juror of three discussing what the judges will review.

A Virtual Exhibition format is not a simple slide show of entries. The viewer will be able to “tour” the gallery exploring each entry and turning corners to see more. Artist statements and descriptions tell the stories of the makers and the “third” artist the collaboration created.

Join the speakers to discuss how people collaborate during a pandemic, what type of media are being considered, how the entrants will be supported during the creating time and ask your own questions before signing up. Description and entry form is at https://globaltextilehub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Draft-Call-for-Entries-logos-rev.pdf .

“Re-imagined” a Collaboration with a Difference – Make the Ordinary Extraordinary is a 2021 Juried Virtual Exhibition coordinated by the GlobalTextileHub.com.

Call for entries deadline Sept 30, 2020.

Opening Date 11th August 2021.
