First Friday

The view from the farthest corner of my studio after visitors have taken a cookie and gone on to the next studio. It was a nice evening, and lots of people came and did the loop around. A few mentioned that they hadn't seen fiber work in town much. So, this will be my community service -- spreading the fiber cause.

Something Learned

I'm adding a facing here, ready to stitch and pivot around the corner. I've never been able to sight this measure of 1/4" from the next edge. I inch along with multiple pivots to check. I suddenly realized that the end of the metal from needle out to inset gap (top of the 'U') was the perfect measure.

On Site Personality

The Little Theater Cafe entrance has a title panel that explains the show's concept. This is not a pristine, white walled gallery, but rather one with personality, with a very different subset of people. It will spark good dialog among people who came for the music, and got visual art in the mix.

Entry Signs


 

Many years of designing exhibits taught me that wayfinding and label heirarchy were important. Before reaching the entry to the cafe, where the exhibit is hung, is a 4'x 8' black board that holds one piece of Judy's and one of mine. The title and thematic blurb is there and all the contact info. We hung today.
