Take a Seat

 Toward the end of our week of printing Kelly pulled this one, and I encouraged her to enter it into QuiltCon. Or any other show. Pretty neat for a whole cloth, and that is hard to do -- that is, make a print from scratch, and have it hold together in a strong composition. We'll have to wait to see what comes next.

Night Time at Ah Haa

The class is done for the day, and we've all gone to the next classroom for a gourmet dinner from the culinary expert at the school. It was a great day to  work over our things, and make, make, make. Tomorrow, a bit more.
 

In the Thickener of It

Kelly wasted no time getting into printing. I'm in Telluride, Colorado at the Ah Haa School of the Arts and a week retreat in printing on cloth. The school is two blocks from where I'm staying and I pass the sweet village on my way. Tomorrow is screens, and more color work. Nice to print again after this August break.

 

Built for Making Art

Today was set up at the Ah Haa School of the Arts in Telluride, Colorado. Tables were cushioned and covered with plastic, dyes and thickener mixed, materials sorted and at the ready. I'm stoked to get to print in this tricked out facility. There is even MY twin washer tucked in the corner! My kinda workspace.

The Definitive Mark

Printed marks from my work in a class this spring show the infinite variables in motif and lines. I'll be in Telluride, Colorado this September 24-27 at the Ah Haa School for a class I call 'The Definitive Mark'. There's room should you want to join us; it should be magical.  https://canvas.ahhaa.org/classes/656
 

Line Up

Toward the end of a printing week, this from QBL, the prints become more distinct, more identifiable to who made them, and often a clearer print. The Independent Study group came with ideas in mind, and it was a treat to see their series of works. I suspect my Telluride class, some experiened, will be similar. 
 

Ah-Haa

 I met the wonderful and talented Kathy Green at April's Alegre retreat. She is part of the Ah-Haa School in Telluride and promises that when I am there in September my class will be fun and smooth going. If she said otherwise, this is what my brain heard. There's a couple of spots, join me September 24-28, 2026. there https://canvas.ahhaa.org/classes/656

Telluride in September

Here's "Domino Effect" which is a good description for what I would call "a definitive mark" and also the title of the class I'll teach this September 24-28 in Telluride, Colorado for the Ah Haa School. There are a couple of spots left, so come with me and print textiles definitively.   https://canvas.ahhaa.org/classes/656
