Japanese, who lived in small villages surrounded by mountains, had to repair their clothing and fabric by hand-stitching because of limited resources. They didn’t have enough money or logistics to get the new fabric from the market. In other words, they had to repair instead of replace their fabric. They patched a hole in one piece of fabric, then kept using it. When they found another hole, they patched it or mended it. The repetition of hand-stitching/repairing made a great art piece, and it is called <b>Boro</b>.</span></p><span class="im" style="background-color: white; color: #500050; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #6b6b6b; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Today we create artwork that is often made with hand-dyed indigo-colored cloth and sometimes using items that we have in our closets and drawers, like the pocket of a pair of a family member’s jeans, or a small pile of cloth that is cut up using items from thrift stores or household linens, work a bit and often with holes of tears that leave the cloth in conditions that require mending.</span></p></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #6b6b6b; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">The focus for our workshop day is building on the fabric we have, using the art as a learning session to encourage working along with the handouts/samples I will share and encourage you to be inspired by and strive to create your own designs.

Their carts and bags were unloaded, and the morning "class-like" project start sharing from me, and with just a bit of demonstration, I spent the rest of each day doing individual chats, technique support, finding the right tools for the 'newbies' and providing individual table assistance as the artists began their adventures... all great fun for me!</p><p>I look forward to <b><i>bringing another round of this great workshop week to more students as the months fly by </i></b>- imagine the surprise as the students got home and rinsed out all of their fabrics - did the minor clean-up of all they went home with for transient dyes and bits of fibres that might just work in new projects... we had so much fun!!</p><p>Just a few photos - more to come when I get a minute to post!!

A supplies list for what you need to bring for the workshop weekend will be supplied with confirmed registration. Sewing machines and related accessories including rotary cutting tools, scissors, and threads are needed. (or stitch by hand - your choice)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Hope you will join me as we share two great creative days together... dye play is exciting and learning the many various techniques for folding, clamping, tying, and stitching designs for your samples. The fun of dipping your cloth into the dye vats is a valuable skill. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial;">On Day Two, we will find students creating a new piece of their own original artwork... or perhaps a small garment or other items like Jornal covers, home decor items of your choice.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Seats are LIMITED to 10 participants and so, please don't wait!

This artwork will be passed along to my son and his son and hopefully, the message will travel forward - the EARTH is our responsibility! The trees, the fields, the birds, and the small and large animals.. all on our collective responsibility list!

Looking forward to the last of fall days watching the weather change and my Lake Ontario view outside my Studio window tell her story!</p><p>Bethany</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rRnvxF0zRL8/YYqH1qdb_JI/AAAAAAABstQ/fI24V2GpahQsPRhHKL5T2EHzHvZsKtUcQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMGP4812.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We arts practitioners are busy enjoying walks, taking solace in the world around us, and yes, setting calendar dates for possible openings for galleries and shows. MAYBE even being together with the friends and relatives we all love so very much to be with... LIVE, in the same room or at least out of doors... a few feet apart!</span></p><p>Living in the beautiful City of Kingston, ON, and sharing the water views from Lake Ontario through my Studio window with a few visitors is wonderful! As the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning opened its doors once again to the public - all Kingston Frontenac Health Unit rules in place and being observed so well, we are seeing a few visitors now and then. Many folks are just staying close to home and immediate family!!</p><p>I recently accepted an invitation to become a member of CLOTH IN COMMON, a tremendous 12 Artist Collective of the most amazing artists, living and practicing their art worldwide. Having followed this group for MANY years now as they shared their new artwork, created in the homes/studios that I would dearly love to be able to step into one day... I am honored to have this opportunity. Over the past few weeks, I finished my first contribution to the group's ROUND 3 Series. Each year, 6 quilts, created by each member, working on the agreed STRUCTURES theme and with a prompt by Karol Kusmaul to work on FACES.</p><p>My 40"h x 26"w quilt started with the base fabric from Cultured Expressions and owner Lisa Shepherd in New Jersey, USA. Her cloth lines are original, created by young artists in Africa, and are a group I have supported with cloth coming into my collection over many years. This piece is Jacquard linen, hand-dyed and purchased as a 2 m. piece. It speaks to me of the virus that is circulating through the background of our lives... and while yes, I know this piece was created long before we knew about the Covid-19 virus, the artist who created the cloth may have had experience with circulating. deep visions in her own creative mind.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-msbp_gVjAAU/YQa6FwdScKI/AAAAAAABpn0/INn2xQ-FUIUbJ_4cL-gb4rH5TjmADs_WACPcBGAsYHg/s3620/3-1%252C%2BGARNER%252C%2BCIC%2Bproject%252C%2B2021%2BJuly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3620" height="534" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-msbp_gVjAAU/YQa6FwdScKI/AAAAAAABpn0/INn2xQ-FUIUbJ_4cL-gb4rH5TjmADs_WACPcBGAsYHg/w640-h534/3-1%252C%2BGARNER%252C%2BCIC%2Bproject%252C%2B2021%2BJuly.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>I selected fabrics from my growing Marcia Derse collection, and drafted some small line figures and card stock patterns, and got going... creating a group of ten figures with BLANK faces - unknown but collective friends I may know, but perhaps are gathered somewhere about the world during these pandemic days.

It will be fun to enjoy an in-person chat with each of you attending and share how I have survived the quiet days and weeks during the pandemic's progression over the past 13 months.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I do hope that you will come along and enjoy time with our Community friends who love a Zoom talk... and the chance to have time for questions and share your thoughts about your artwork is important to me. We will have time at the end of my presentation to do just that!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Joining the presentation is easy: just click on the <u>EVENTBRITE link</u> at the top of the page and register through their tickets portal for your seat in our evening talk. The donations of your fee will go directly to the TETT Centre for the ongoing support of classroom events starting as soon as our KFL&A Public Health professionals are able to lift the restrictions for in-person classes at the TETT. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">We all look forward to those wonderful days with area friends and especially the youngsters to seek to come and visit and learn with us here at the TETT.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THE LINK to register with friends near and far.

I hope to be able to continue with a more "reader-friendly" chat blog rather than always advertising classes and things to do... we are all doing a whole lot of "not much" just now, and that needs some support!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Has this been 'THE most difficult time in my life' for more of all of you, artist friends, than just me??</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> I am so pleased that the calendar has turned and that we are all thinking about changes happening in the world that are on the POSITIVE side rather than focusing on difficult days. January has been just a bit scary lately - so hoping that you are all focusing on support for our Community, neighbors, and friends.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here in Ontario, we are on a "soft lockdown" or pandemic holding period and once again a 'Stay at Home' order has been issued that is focused on keeping us all safe and protecting our neighbors and those we come into contact with as well as our family members and ourselves.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am still traveling into Kingston (when the weather permits) to my little Stone-walled Artist's Studio at the TETT Centre here in Kingston, ON. I am loving the camaraderie of the other six Resident Artists and good friends who are allowed into our BIG EMPTY BUILDING because our Studio spaces are like apartment rentals - we can come and go, but it is lonely (and sad that we do not see friends and neighbors coming for their "Art" fix.) The Galleries are dark, the Weavers, Potters and Lapidary Guilds and the Dance School is not running classes at all... with the only people in the building being staff, and who are Guild members and have building access on a very limited basis. I have Lake Ontario just outside my window, so the days pass quickly, watching the skies and the changes in water and weather...</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am working on a new project quilt - for the CONNECTIONS FIBRE ARTISTS group exhibition entitled "RE: Connections" that was to open in early February and now delayed by the pandemic shut down. We are hoping for a Gallery opening for the exhibition with limited admission for visitors on February 20th (please follow the Wellington County Museum and Archives website for more information), but there will not be our normal and much-loved Opening Reception this year.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This artwork just happened - fun, bright colours and with a focus on an artifact from the Museum's Archives - "Two Girls and a Canoe". Based on a photo that I selected to use for my inspiration.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CJCuS1RD5VM/YAWQpGmbXJI/AAAAAAABcf4/30XVH7ZLD6IyCq6j_nD_N06fTrimSRrQQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Two%2BGirls%2Band%2B%2BCanoe%2B%2528minus%2Bthe%2Bcanoe%2B-%2Bcoming...%2529%2BIMG-0157.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1979" data-original-width="2048" height="618" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CJCuS1RD5VM/YAWQpGmbXJI/AAAAAAABcf4/30XVH7ZLD6IyCq6j_nD_N06fTrimSRrQQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h618/Two%2BGirls%2Band%2B%2BCanoe%2B%2528minus%2Bthe%2Bcanoe%2B-%2Bcoming...%2529%2BIMG-0157.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>The quilt is in the last stages of the quilting process and will perhaps be done today - with borders to be added before the week is our and frame mounting to happen soon.

You can visit the studios to engage with the artists, look around the studio spaces, and maybe even pick up a special piece of art for yourself before its hung in this group show.<br /><br />A huge THANK YOU to the Tett for donating the gallery space to allow us to showcase our diverse works in a beautiful contemporary setting and share it with our community on October 2-14th. Resident Artists are busy creating until then and encourage visitors to the Tett to have a sneak peek into their studios leading up to the show. It is so inspiring to see them at work.</p><div><br /></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Bethany Garnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17381147194656828768noreply@blogger.com
