Monthly Meeting
Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at 11:00 am PT via Zoom
Open to members and non-members. RSVP required.
Presentation:
Paper embroidery with Suzanne Glémot
Suzanne Glémot will be previewing her summer workshops with SDBA, showing samples from each class and providing an overview of materials used and techniques covered. Following this presentation, Suzanne will give a short demonstration on how she embroiders on paper. Meeting attendees are welcome to follow along with materials of their own — these techniques will be developed further in her summer class on long-stitch binding.
Tips & Tricks:
Have at least two postcards, of the same size and you’ll be ready to work alongside Kathy Lee and Maria Rebelo and transform them into beautiful and simple boxes.
NOTE:
The material’s list will be shared with everyone that RSVPs for the meeting.
March 21st at 10 AM PM
Your Directors will present a brief slideshow, followed by a wonderful presentation with Paul Jackson!
Boxes: Should we be Thinking Outside, Inside or Between Them?
Paul Jackson will give reasons why it is preferable to think between boxes, instead of thinking outside them, when creating new work. He will give tips on how to do this and show examples from his own creative practice as a paper artist.
Please RSVP by March 19 to receive your Zoom link to the meeting.
