2012 Artist and Activity List
Community Building Children’s Center Teachers
Silk Scarf Printing
Using vibrant tissue paper shapes you’ll arrange your design and then “print” it onto the silk using an amazingly simple technique. The results are breathtaking.
Eva Silverstone
Collage Magnets
Collage is the combination of many materials to make something new. You can “borrow” others’ ideas and designs and with a little reworking make something unique from the materials that you started with.
Greg Pritchett
Watercolor Painting
Explore watercolor painting in a loose impressionistic style as an introduction to this medium. Watercolors are translucent, they allow light to reflect from the paper’s surface creating a luminous effect
Diane Rowen Garmire
Wiggle Wire Ornaments
If a squiggle is a line that meanders and moves, never closing on itself, then a wiggle wire must be its three dimensional cousin. Wiggle wire ornaments are made from re-claimed copper wire, turned and twisted into glorious, natural, organic lines. Once shaped to the crafter’s liking, the ornaments are pounded flat with hammers on metal. They are dressed at last with a glint of sparkling color from glass beads. These ornaments can be hung anywhere, inside or outside, to bring charm and aesthetic joy to the observer.
Loris Stupel
