Recap of Nov 20th meeting
During the session the renowned potter, Grayson Perry, who works with coils of clay (threads!) and numerous other media including weavings and etchings, spoke to us via the internet and iPlayer from the BBC, (a replay of the Reith Lecture) about the nature of art. He stimulated intellectual debate that covered numerous topics from the relevance of beauty in an art work, to the responsibility of the artist to give due credit to his fellow, technically adept, collaborators of which there are many more these days.
We also digressed gently to other topics of interest and I believe everyone went home with matters to ponder, but I hope that those driving practised restraint and only considered such matters when they were off the ice!
Thanks to all who took the trouble to come out for the evening. Everyone who has spoken to me since commented that the gathering encouraged and supported the discussion. It was a shame that Grayson couldn't actually make it to the meeting this time, but I think he would be very pleased to know that we consider that we were with him in Liverpool, UK - a hot bed of contemporary art and debate.
This morning Pamela came across this in today's Guardian. (If you have time, scroll through some of the comments as well. Artists and Non-Artists weigh in with some silly and some provocative thoughts as well.)

(Future) Felting Workshop in Calgary
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have pleasure in sending this invitation on to you.
I was fortunate enough to meet Judith during the first Canadian Felt:Feutre conference earlier this year and saw her glorious work exhibited at the show there and knew she would be a wonderful teacher for a Kreative Momentum Workshops.
I hope you will take advantage of her visiting us in Calgary.
Do get in touch if you have questions or want more information.
This is a great opportunity for beginner and advanced felters to learn more about Nuno felting, acid dyes, creating felted, sculptural clothing or other beautifully decorated surfaces. Also her method opens up the technique of felting to those with back and upper body aches - get in touch for more information, but I don't want to give the game away to everyone!

Judith
says “The workshop will work for all levels of experience though some
knowledge of the materials and basic method of felting is required for
more complex clothing projects."
(I
can arrange for a one day felt play class to get you started if you
wish. Get in touch if you want to take advantage of this.)
Meanwhile here is the invitation,
All the best,

SDA CONFERENCE UPDATE
from SDA President Jane Dunnewold
In October, SDA Board voted to postpone 2015 SDA Int'l conference slated for Tulsa, Oklahoma. While the Tulsa hosts were enthusiastic & incredibly welcoming, the board recognized a growing need to evaluate SDA's conference model. To that end, we are examining timing, costs & conference management. Our goal is to reinvent SDA conferences as an international event that will attract a broader audience - while also generating income that supports SDA's organization & mission.
We anticipate doing just that for 2017.

IT IS 100% CONFIDENTIAL IT TAKES ABOUT 30 MINUTES.
To begin, go to kent.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_39lpqnNy65NAhJr
Research findings will be shared in a story on SDA NewsBlog.

For immediate release
Every so often I get information for immediate release to SDA members from the 'head office'.
This one is about the swatch collections which are now available online for everyone to experience… just follow the links….
You will remember we had one of the Swatch collections here for one of our meetings this year… and it was quite a different and better experience to handle it in person. I hope we can arrange to have another set of swatches next year.
However, if you can't make it to a meeting this is a great second best and those who have worked on putting it online deserve a lot of thanks… quite a job.
If you have a swatch you wish to add to the collection I will be bringing forms for submission to the next meeting. November 20th.

Seventh Meeting notice
This is going to be terrific. Save the date, Wednesday 20th November, 2013
SDA: Alberta meeting in Calgary at Atlantis Fine Framing 4515 Manhattan Rd SE Calgary
Full details below.
All are welcome, $5 members, $10 non-members.
Grayson Perry is an artist, renowned potter and certainly a surface designer. His tapestries based on the Rake's Progress were shown in the Royal Academy this summer (They took my breath away and stimulated a good 2 hours worth of attention and more time on discussion.) Grayson has been selected to give this year's Reith Lectures on the BBC and we will be listening in to one of them at our next Surface Design Association meeting in Calgary.
You are welcome to bring or wear a piece of clothing that is "subtle with bright colours" in the style of…. Grayson.
Beating the Bounds
Grayson Perry : Playing to the Gallery 2013
The award-winning artist Grayson Perry asks whether it is really true that anything can be art. We live in an age when many contemporary artists follow the example of Marcel Duchamp, who famously declared that a urinal was a work of art. It sometimes seems that anything qualifies, from a pile of sweets on a gallery floor to an Oscar-winning actress asleep in a box. How does the ordinary art lover decide?
In a lecture delivered amidst the Victorian splendour of St. George's Hall in Liverpool, Perry analyses with characteristic wit the common tests - from commercial worth to public popularity to aesthetic value. He admits the inadequacies of such yardsticks, especially when applied to much conceptual and performance art. And he concludes that in his opinion, the quality most valued in the art world is seriousness.
RSVP Karin ioftheneedle@me.com to ensure a seat.
