SUMMARY:Zoom Lecture with Clarissa Callesen
DESCRIPTION:Please Register here – Registration closes one day before the event. Members free\, $5 for Guests \n\n\n\nWednesday\, September 13\,1 pm  Zoom Lecture with Clarissa Callesen\, Sculptor\, installation artist\, Instructor\, and Creative coach.  \n\n\n\nClarissa Callesen executes personal and community-based installations and sculptures\, constructed of knotted\, recycled discarded domestic textiles. “I work primarily with postconsumer recycled materials. Everything has been discarded from its original owner or is a by-product of organic or industrial production. I am fascinated by the history and energy of objects\, particularly found objects. I am less concerned with an object’s original purpose and more interested in the evidence of life a thing wears upon the surface. We all interact with hundreds of objects and materials every day whether they are adored treasures or complete throwaways. Our lives are interconnected with this commonplace matter.”

SUMMARY:Zoom Lecture with Teresa Baker
DESCRIPTION:Please Register here – Registration closes one day before the event. Members free\, $5 for Guests \n\n\n\n\n\nOctober 12\, 2023\, 1pm Thursday\,  Zoom Presentation/ Teresa Baker  Teresa was awarded the Joan Mitchell in 2022 Fellowship and is located in Los Angeles . Honoring both her modern aesthetic and the materials and cultural metaphors of her childhood\, Baker transforms synthetic materials into works that reference territories’ irregular shapes. The looping marks\, made with materials like yarn and string\, suggest mapping. These works are drawn from memories in the grand Northern Plains where she is from and time spent exploring\, walking\, looking\, and working. The materials\, texture\, shapes\, and color relationships are guided by the Artists’ Mandan/Hidatsa culture to explore how identity can relate to innate objects.    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I am interested in bringing landscape\, specifically that of the Northern Plains\, into an object through abstraction. Combining artificial materials together with traditional materials that my tribes—the Mandan and Hidatsa—used for utilitarian\, storytelling\, ceremonial\, and decorative means\, I reimagine how these plant and animal materials function in the context of a new object—one that seeks to explore the importance of place\, land\, and how we interact with it.”

SUMMARY:Zoom Lecture with Jennifer Collier
DESCRIPTION:Please Register here – Registration closes one day before the event. Members free\, $5 for Guests \n\n\n\nPaper pioneer and UK artist Jennifer Collier creates exquisite sculptures from vintage recycled materials in conjunction with stitch; a contemporary twist on traditional textiles. The papers serve as both the inspiration and the media for the work\, with the narrative suggesting the forms. Through this marriage of unlikely materials old papers are transformed into something truly unique\, delicate and complex. \n\n\n\n“I work from a studio in Stafford\, and continue my self-employed career through the sale of my work\, exhibitions and commissions. I run my own gallery\, Unit Twelve\,  which is open to the public. The spaces houses 6 artist’s studios\, including my own and hosts a changing program of themed\, high quality contemporary craft exhibitions\, curated by myself. We also run a rolling program of themed art workshops\, in schools\, colleges\, and galleries; with a diverse range of community groups. I have experience working with children with behavioural difficulties and emotional wellbeing issues\, adults with learning difficulties\, but my greatest area of enterprise is with people suffering with problems around mental wellbeing.”

My desire to explore fiber prompted me to begin organizing fiber retreats and an annual creative arts festival featuring classes\, vendors\, and exhibitions from artists worldwide.Scrapwerx is a zero-waste initiative that began at the height of the pandemic. I started collecting scraps of fabric from people who were making masks in an effort to divert the textile waste from a landfill.I have realized that my greatest strength is my desire to share my knowledge with my community. It is my greatest hope that through my community service\, I can inspire people of all ages to find a way to express themselves with materials readily available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Cathy Olivar:Cathy has her own business\, Cathy Olivar Sustainable Clothing Brand.She was part of an activist group working toward a fashion future that is more sustainable and transparent and puts peoples’ lives before profit.She created her company in 2019 with the goal of providing a sustainable alternative to fast fashion.Cathy was selected along with other incredible designers to recreate some of the most iconic looks for the icon and advocate himself\, @theebillyporter\, for Billy Porter Presents: A Summer Flower Fashion Show at the Phipps Conservatory here in Pittsburgh recently.
