Kensington Art Supplies Relocation Opening
Opening Day:  Saturday, February 1, 2014

The opening day for Kensington Art Supply and Instruction has been set for Saturday, February 1, 2014.   We were hoping to open sooner but we are still under construction and need a little extra time to get everything finished.   The store will open and our first art classes will begin at 9 AM Saturday, February 1, 2014.  Any workshops listed for January will be rescheduled so please check workshop listings to confirm dates.  Everything scheduled for February will be as listed.  Any class fees paid for January will be applied to the February 1 start date.   Go to www.hughesfineart.ca for listings. Thank you for your patience and support! We believe it is going to be well worth the wait!


SLOFEMIST update from Lois Klassen:

I will soon be posting some new information pages on the art-action website: one for the finished squares and one for the finished patterns. The stitchers can have full credit next to their squares on the website, if they choose. If stitchers come up with their own pattern, they will also be credited on the pattern as authors. For the patterns, creators should note that the patterns are assigned a "Creative Commons" licence: Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. That means that they will be made available free to anyone (and circulated on the Internet as pdf's) so long as the creator is credited whenever they are copied, and so long as they are not sold or further altered. All of that will be explained on the new web pages. Also, we will be keeping a running list of all of the participants to date, to include when appropriate (for example, in brochures or catalogues).


MISCELLANEOUS INTEREST:

2014 Classes in many quilting and sewing techniques  are now listed on the My Sewing Room website. (Calgary retailer)

The results are clear and high quality, and while expensive, as shipping from the UK is high, it may be worth your while if you are interested in creating work with your own sketches.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS SDA

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.

WHAT'S THE MEANING OF MAKING?

 SDA Members Dr. Kim Hahn (Kent State) & Dr. Ann Collier (N. Arizona U.) invite you to participate in a survey about the meaning of handcrafts & textiles in your life.They're looking for women over 18 to participate in a short online survey to explore the role of textiles (like sewing, knitting, weaving, felting, lace-making) & handcrafts - with special interest in how making is related to environmental behavior, personality, well-being & possibly perception of body image in relationship to social media use as well as fashion behavior and leisure activities.

 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.


EXHIBITS:

Don't we all wish we could go see this????

 The Bellevue Arts Museum is showing the fabulous work of Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave.  Her central project revolves around recreating exquisite, life-size historical costumes and fabrics entirely out of paper. See more on the website. 
The exhibition starts November 21 and continues until Feb. 21.

Sad Soucie move

The Sans Soucie studio is moving to the USA.  To Atlanta, Georgia to be exact. 

Two weeks from today, I will be departing for Atlanta and will be the visiting lecturer in Textiles at the Welch School of Art at Georgia State University.

This opportunity presented itself in the last week and I was invited to be the visiting lecturer for the next year with the option to renew for another three. 
The most appealing aspect about this offer is that I will have an opportunity to work with hosiery mills in the area. Given that it has become a challenge to work with mills here in Canada, this is exactly what was needed in order to allow for this work and process to grow. 

It was a difficult decision to make to relocate but it has become quite clear that this is the right path for me and this work to take.  This is not to say I will not return. In fact, my goal is to open a textile mill as I strongly believe in bringing textile production back to Canada.  I fully support the reshoring of garment production, however, I am seeing very little movement in the reshoring of textile production.  Between the states of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia there are dozens of mills still in production, knitting and weaving.  Needless to say, this is an opportunity for creative exploration, learning and growth. 

With that being said, I will be hosting a studio event on August 16th 5-10pm and on August 17th 12-6pm. 1889 Powell St. ( near Victoria Dr.)

For those of you in Vancouver, this will be a chance to say good bye in person. We welcome you to join us and share a story about your Sans Soucie garment.  This will be your last chance to pick up a piece of Canadian made Sans Soucie for some time.  I will be bringing all my Canadian produced waste to the US and work will be available online for purchase during this transition. 

For those who are not in Vancouver, starting on Monday August 12-20th we will be posting work for sale on our etsy site for purchase. 

http://www.etsy.com/shop/sanssoucie

We will have new work at full retail pricing, unheard of deals and many things available at wholesale prices!

If anyone would like to book an appointment that is unable to attend out event next weekend please email info@sanssoucie.ca or call the studio 604.428.2808

Thank you to everyone in the last 10 years that have supported the development of this work.  Many great achievements were attained through your support.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you! Please share and invite your friends!

 best,

Rebuilding

Calgary Arts Development: Calgary Arts Flood Rebuild fund launched

The Alberta Craft Council has been contacted by members wanting to know how they can help. We have been working with the Calgary Arts Development and encourage monetary donations to their Food Rebuild fund.

In the week since the flood there has been an outpouring of support and offers to donate to the arts in Alberta. Calgary Arts Development has launched the Calgary Arts Flood Rebuild project on InvestYYC.com with an aim of directing these offers to the arts community.

The Calgary Arts Flood Rebuild funds will support artists and arts organizations from across southern Alberta as they recover from the devastating impacts of the flood. The funds will be administered by Calgary Arts Development, in conjunction with other community and government partners from across Alberta whose focus is on direct support of the arts.

Suncor Energy Foundation has donated $50,000 to this campaign and will match $50,000 in individual donations!

Visit the Calgary Arts Development website for more information, or to donate...

Deadline: July 26

The Alberta Flood Rose Project invites all Calgary and area visual artists to create and donate an original 4"x4" (inch) piece of wall art, depicting the provincial flower of Alberta, the wild rose.

Short film for PechaKucha style evening at Puppet Power Conference, Calgary

Wendy Passmore-Godfrey, Karin Millson and Daniel Millson collaborated to produce a 7 minute film for the PechaKucha style evening at Puppet Power Conference, Calgary 2013. The monotonic audio creates an almost  hypnotic state, as one hears the biological diagnoses of marine creatures, though one attempts to stay connected with their visual beauty through the visuals.  This is preceded by a short poem indicating the reason the film came into being through the "Fearless Use of Puppetry".

putting the pieces back together after the flood

I do hope that all are safe and as dry as can be expected now that the waters are receding in Calgary. Without monopolizing this entry, let me just say that after what i personally have been through, i will never look at a river the same way again. (Still love 'em, but sure as heck respect 'em a lot more now..)

There *are* resources for artists who have lost studio supplies or studio space. I have copied this verbatim from the Alberta Craft Council newsletter:

Artistry of Rug Hooking (with Rachelle LeBlanc) at the Leighton Centre
April 13th, 2013

This is a one day introductory rug hooking class where you will learn the necessary techniques to create or improve your own rug hooking project. The classes run for one day from 10:00am to 4:00pm. The cost of the class includes step by step instruction book, the kit called "View from the Leighton"(designed exclusively for this workshop with an image of an Alberta Foothills), hook, pattern on linen, and wool to complete the project.

In this workshop, students will be shown new ways to use rug hooking as a creative tool for self expression. Students will learn how to create movement using the techniques of transitional and directional hooking of color.  Nothing in nature is straight or even in width; the same rule applies to rug hooking.  Treat the wool strips the same way you would use a paint brush.  Some areas of color will be wider then others and nothing should be straight.  Use narrower strips towards the horizon and the wider strips towards the foreground by trimming the strips as needed.  The wool strips included in the kit have been cut with #8 and #6 blades.
Students need to bring a 12" to 14" hoop and a pair of fabric scissors.

The Center for Pattern Design

Our mission here is to recognize the skill of pattern designing, to educate and provide research for professional development and to explore contemporary applications. We hope this leads the fashion industry to place greater value on the work of highly skilled pattern designers and thereby offer the public more interesting and better fitting clothing. Most of all, we want new generations to follow their curiosity, create new forms and learn from the best in history. Finally, we hope that the art and fine skills of pattern designing continue to impart confidence, creativity and yield personal success for those professionals who recognize the importance of beautiful fit and design.

You do have to be an SDA member to attend the conference or submit work to any of the exhibitions but attending the diverse other exhibitions is well worth the price of your dues.

Very pleased to announce....

I (arlee barr)have a 5 page article in the newest issue of Art Quilting Studio Winter 2013, available on the newstands Dec 1st, or by order from their site. This issue is one of the best i have seen of this magazine and the best i think in a long time from any textile arts publication. I may be a *bit* prejudiced, but even if i weren’t in it i would feel so inspired and "hawt to trot" that my copy would be limp from use :) I highly recommend the other artists and articles as well--much surface design in many forms by several talented names.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ Again, let me remind you that Karin and i are willing and want to publicize you and your work--let us know about your shows, web adventures, publications and news as soon as possible, especially if time sensitive. This blog is for all of us to showcase and share.

Congratulations Rachelle!

"Windswept Pines" was bought through The Alberta Foundations for the Arts Acquisitions. It was a long process but I am honoured and excited about being part of such a great collection. I would not have happened without your support and help.
