SUMMARY:UNTIL June 9: Pistes d’éternité – Marie-Renée Otis\, broderie d’art
DESCRIPTION:EAC/ACB member Marie-Renée Otis has a solo exhibition on now and running until June 9. The exhibition\, titled Pistes d’éternité\, Marie-Renée Otis\, Broderie d’art\, is being held at Musée des cultures du monde\, in Nicolet\, near Drummondville\, Québec. \n\n\n\nConstant research and a daring technical path summarize Marie-Renée Otis’s embroidery career. In her handmade embroidery\, she renews the tapestry technique by integrating various materials: feathers\, beads\, jewellery\, metal threads\, and elements from several countries. \n\n\n\nThe abundance of rare materials\, sumptuous fabrics\, magnificent gold threads\, and pearls make them art embroideries with rich textures and a very personal imagination where women\, spiritual beings\, elements of nature and the majestic landscapes of Charlevoix with its mountains and river play an essential role. \n\n\n\nMarie-Renée Otis’s ambition\, through her works\, is to reflect on current creation and its challenges of combining tradition and modernity\, share her knowledge through conferences and individual or group exhibitions\, and\, in her own way\, participate in the beauty of the world. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is happening in conjunction with the release of Marie-Renée’s new book\, Abundance and Gratitude: Art embroidery\, available in French and English editions.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series :: Wild Silk: Tasar (Tussah)\, Muga and Eri :: Karen Selk
DESCRIPTION:Karen Selk will be presenting her story of learning about wild silk and the people who rear and care for the silkworms and make the silk. This event is free for EAC/ACB members. \n \nKaren was born in Wisconsin in a farming community and studied Chinese language and literature at university. She immigrated to western Canada in the early 1970s and has made her home on Salt Spring Island since 2000. She and her husband\, Terry Nelson\, founded Treenway Silks\, a silk fibre and yarn import/export company\, in 1978.  As managing director of Treenway Silks for over 30 years\, she wrote an educational newsletter\, produced an award-winning video\, published an educational poster explaining the lifecycle of the silkworm\, and designed and developed new yarns\, fibre kits\, and colour palettes. She used all their products to create projects to inspire their customers. \nKaren’s quest to understand all aspects of silk\, her desire to better serve Treenway’s customers\, and her curiosity took her on the first of many journeys to Asia starting in 1986.  With a camera and journal\, each expedition was focused on researching the rich history and heritage of silk production and traditions.  A deep respect for the land and people who make the textiles and prodding from her friend in India inspired Karen to lead many textile tours through India and Laos. \nShe began teaching weaving classes in yarn shops in Victoria\, BC. She developed several workshops which led her further afield throughout Canada\, the US\, Australia\, New Zealand\, the Philippines and India\, sharing her knowledge of weaving and silk. \nWith this focused yet varied background\, Karen has written over 40 articles about weaving\, silk fusion\, the production of traditional textiles in Asian villages\, the raising of silkworms and embellishing styles. \n \nThe business has been passed on\, so semi-retirement sees Karen dividing her time between the studio and their partially self-sufficient garden.  Her deep connection to the natural world\, her organic garden and her vast knowledge of world textiles inform her work. \nKaren is currently represented by Gallery 8 on Salt Spring Island and continues to participate in group shows through the Surface Design Association\, Textile Society of America\, Island Textile Artists\, the Studio Art Quilts Association and Salt Spring Island Weavers and Spinners. \nYou can find Karen at her website\, www.karenselk.com.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series :: Bojagi :: Youngmin Lee
DESCRIPTION:Bojagi (Korean Wrapping Cloths) are pieced together from small scraps of cloth. It is the most unique form of Korean textile art. Bojagi occupied a prominent place in the daily lives of Koreans of all classes. They were used to wrap or carry everything from precious ritual objects to everyday clothes and common household goods and also to cover food. It is also strikingly contemporary: the designs and colours of bojagi remind one of the works of modern abstract artists. Bojagi can be described as a true form of abstract expressionism. \nYoungmin Lee will talk about bojagi during this lecture and show her bojagi works. Join us to learn about this versatile\, integral part of everyday Korean life. Registration is free for EAC/ACB members! \n \nMosi jogakbo by Youngmin Lee \n\nMembers\, sign in to My EAC/Mon ACB to register for Youngmin’s presentation on Saturday\, April 20\, 2024. \n\n\n4:30 Newfoundland Time\n4 pm Atlantic Time\n3 pm Eastern Time\n2 pm Central Time\n1 pm Mountain Time\nnoon Pacific Time\n\n If you aren’t an EAC/ACB member\, yet\, you can purchase a seat for our Zoom webinar with Youngmin Lee. Once your payment is completed\, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to register directly on Zoom. \n \nNew Beginning by Youngmin Lee \nYoungmin Lee is a Korean textile artist living in the San Francisco Bay Area.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series :: Susan Purney Mark ::  Iceland - a Textile Narrative

SUMMARY:Speaker Series :: What Antique Samplers Have to Teach Us :: Lianne van Leyen
DESCRIPTION:Needle: first instrument of learning in the hand. Female education: a privilege\, not a right and unequal. \n \nLianne explores the significance of antique samplers in understanding the historical role of women and girls in education. She will share how knowledge and skills were transmitted through needlework in traditional and nontraditional subjects during a time when education was not a right and not universally accessible. \nAntique sampler and needlework tools presentation via Zoom discussing the sampler-making tradition demonstrated in the 1897 Schoolhouse Samplers’ 350+ piece collection of antique schoolgirl samplers from 1726 to 1978. \nMembers\, sign in to My EAC/Mon ACB to register for Lianne van Leyen’s engaging presentation on Saturday\, January 27\, 2024. \n\n4:30 Newfoundland Time\n4 pm Atlantic Time\n3 pm Eastern Time\n2 pm Central Time\n1 pm Mountain Time\nnoon Pacific Time\n\n \nLianne van Leyen is a domestic interpreter and historic cook at Upper Canada Village.  She prepares and serves meals and desserts using period-correct recipes and methods made in an open hearth or a step wood cook stove. She teaches children and young adults historic cooking and interprets and demonstrates Canada’s history on the eve of Confederation for visitors from around the world. \nLianne’s career has spanned fine arts\, child protection\, banking\, and higher education management. She lives with her husband Grant in a one-room Ontario schoolhouse built in 1897 and owns a church built next door in the 1920s. The couple are also caretakers of three antique British vehicles. She spent years learning to paint\, draw and teach herself many crafts\, including cross stitch. \n \nLianne van Leyen is an artist and a storyteller. \nLianne holds incomplete\, timeworn\, damaged and unusual samplers as precious and deserving of love and attention. She is the caretaker of a growing collection of antique schoolgirl samplers and the designer behind 1897 Schoolhouse Samplers.  Her diverse collection of samplers\, currently numbering more than 350 pieces\, includes dated examples from 1726 to 1978\, made in the UK\, U.S.A.\, Europe and Canada. \n \nLianne van Leyen shares her sampler collection and the history of needlework with local\, national and international needlework and sampler guilds and public museums through in-person and virtual presentations via her website and social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram. She leads retreats and workshops\, has had her work published in PieceWork magazine and has contributed to podcasts. Lianne works to increase exposure and interest in historical textiles and needle art within and outside the stitching community. \nIn 2018\, Lianne sought to give a new purpose to her sampler collection and began creating original and reproduction cross-stitch patterns.

SUMMARY:Previously Offered :: Speaker Series :: Marie-Renée Otis
DESCRIPTION:Marie-Renée Otis is a textile artist — her chosen medium of expression is art embroidery and the overarching goal of her artistic work is to add beauty to the world. \nIn her presentation\, Marie-Renée will share the beginnings of her creative adventure with art embroidery and the various stages of her technical evolution; she will also discuss the recurring images and archetypes in her works: Woman\, Mother Earth and the river and mountains of her hometown of Baie-Saint-Paul. \nMembers\, sign in to My EAC/Mon ACB to register for Marie-René’s engaging presentation on Saturday\, November 18. \n\n4:30 Newfoundland Time\n4 pm Atlantic Time\n3 pm Eastern Time\n2 pm Central Time\n1 pm Mountain Time\nnoon Pacific Time\n\n \n  \nIn an increasingly mechanized\, technological world\, Marie-Renée remains dedicated to hand embroidery\, creating unique\, contemporary works that combine the past and the present as she uses traditional and historic embroidery techniques and materials sourced from around the world. \nHer embroideries are brimming with gold threads\, jewelry\, stones\, beads\, and metal pieces\, blended and stitched next to each other. \nMarie-Renée was born in 1955 and raised in Baie-Saint-Paul\, a city known for its vibrant artistic community. \nHer interest in drawing and working with her hands began at an early age. Her fascination with textiles came about later\, during her CEGEP studies in Québec City. The pleasure and satisfaction she experienced while working with cotton\, silks\, and wool was why she chose to go to the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. At the time\, the weaving studios with vertical looms were dynamic and stimulating venues for local art students. Marie-Renée completed her BFA in 1978. \nAfter finishing her studies\, she stayed on in Trois-Rivières\, married and had two children. Her interests progressed from weaving to embroidery. Working with a needle on canvas allowed her to be even more creative with colours\, materials and designs. \nAfter ten years of city living\, Marie-Renée fulfilled one of her lifelong dreams: to return to her hometown of Baie-Saint-Paul to live closer to nature and her roots. \nIn 1986\, her work as an artist was put on hold when she became a TV host/reporter at the local station. The job allowed her to develop new personal and professional skills and abilities\, but she found herself constantly struggling to balance her public life and her artistic ambitions. \nIn 1995\, she left her media position to embrace the world of education\, becoming a teacher at the CEGEP in Charlevoix. She took on this new challenge with enthusiasm and confidence. \nAnother major shift in her professional career happened in 2001. She finally achieved what she had been hoping to do for many years: become a full-time artist\, devote herself to creating art embroidery\, open her studio to the public and build a portfolio of works that has gained her local\, national and international recognition. \nAlthough her studio is now closed\, she continues to be an active member of the artistic community in Baie-Saint-Paul and is recognized as a master of art embroidery. She presents conferences\, works with artisans in Africa\, participates in many exhibitions\, studies techniques from other cultures and other times\, teaches occasionally\, and networks with artists from around the world.

SUMMARY:Previously Offered :: Speaker Series :: Salley Mavor
DESCRIPTION:Salley Mavor will talk about her journey as an artist who tells stories with three-dimensional embroidery. The presentation will cover a wide range of creative endeavours\, from illustration to doll-making to stop-motion animation\, demonstrating that there are no limits to what can be expressed with a needle and thread! This is an opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes peek at Ms. Mavor’s innovative creative process\, which is unmatched within the fibre art world. \nMembers\, sign in to My EAC/Mon ACB to register for Salley’s informative presentation on Saturday\, October 14. \n\n4:30 pm Newfoundland Standard Time\n4 pm Atlantic Standard Time\n3 pm Eastern Standard Time\n2 pm Central Standard Time\n1 pm Mountain Standard Time\nnoon Pacific Standard Time\n\n \nSalley Mavor grew up in the village of Woods Hole\, Massachusetts in a family who connected with their community through art\, music and dance.  At home\, there were always art supplies close at hand and a sense that time was available for creative pursuit. Drawing with crayons was never enough for Salley. She remembers feeling that her pictures were not finished until something real was glued\, stapled or sewn to it. At a young age\, she held an open-minded view of what constitutes art\, writing in a 1964 school essay at age nine\, “Art is everything… records\, clocks\, blackboards\, people\, snowflakes and everything. That is why I like art.” \n \nAs an illustration major at the Rhode Island School of Design in the 1970s\, she left traditional mediums behind\, preferring to communicate her ideas with sculptural needlework. For most of her 45-year career\, she has followed this path\, creating narrative scenes in bas-relief\, much like miniature\, shallow stage sets\, with figures and props attached to embellished fabric backgrounds. She has spent decades developing her signature style and working methods\, carving out her own niche within the children’s book world and the fibre art community. \n \nMs. Mavor has illustrated 11 picture books using her distinctive blend of materials and hand-stitching techniques\, including Pocketful of Posies\, which won the 2011 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and the 2011 Golden Kite Award. Her popular how-to book\, Felt Wee Folk is in its second edition\, inspiring creativity in all ages. Her most recent picture book is My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World. She lives and works in her home studio in Falmouth\, Massachusetts. \n \n  \nYou can see more about Salley and her creations on her website at weefolkstudio.com.

SUMMARY:Speakers Series: Stumpwork Then & Now: Celeste Chalasani
DESCRIPTION:This event is free for EAC/ACB members. Members\, sign in to My EAC/Mon ACB to register for this presentation. \n\n4:30 pm Newfoundland Standard Time\n4 pm Atlantic Standard Time\n3 pm Eastern Standard Time\n2 pm Central Standard Time\n1 pm Mountain Standard Time\nnoon Pacific Standard Time\n\nCeleste Chalasani will compare stumpwork as it was practiced in the 17th century to how it has evolved. We’ll see photos of museum pieces to show the different characteristics of the historical stumpwork practice\, how the art evolved\, and compare it to the work of contemporary artists\, including Celeste’s own. \n \n  \n \nTeaching Stumpwork is a labour of love for me. I am passionate about sharing what I know. I approach teaching from the understanding that different people learn in different ways. I strive to provide clear written instructions with step-by-step colour photos\, orally explain the technique with colour-coded visual aids\, demonstrate stitches and techniques\, and work one-on-one with each student as they practice their techniques. \nCeleste Chalasani \nCeleste first learned embroidery\, sewing and crochet as a young child from her grandmother. Her passion for stumpwork was sparked when she joined EGA in 1999. A lifelong learner\, she completed the City & Guilds Level 1 and 2 Certificate in Design and Craft Stumpwork distance courses under the tutelage of Chris Hammacott. She has also taken classes through EGA with Chris Berry\, Judy Jeroy\, Jane Nicholas\, and Marsha Papay-Gomola. \nCeleste Chalasani is a graduate of the National Academy of Needlearts (NAN) Teachers’ Certification Program specializing in stumpwork. Her piece “Tidal Treasures” was accessioned into the NAN Permanent Collection at the Gregg School of Art & Design at North Carolina State University. \nCeleste was the featured Designer Across America in the March 2015 issue of Needle Arts and her project “Christmas Rose” was in the December 2016 issue of Needle Arts. Celeste’s article on the history of stumpwork and supplemental project\, “The Dragon\,” was published in Piecework Magazine’s March/April 2013 issue. \nCeleste has taught extensively for the Embroiderers’ Guild of America (EGA) at chapter workshops\, regional and national seminars\, and for the National Academy of Needlearts. She currently teaches an online class for Craftsy and an Individual Correspondence Course on Stumpwork for EGA. Celeste designed and donated her “Poppy Remembrance Pin” in 2019 to EGA’s National Outreach Project supporting America’s wounded service members. \nYou can find Celeste online at her website.

SUMMARY:Speakers Series: Kathy Andrews\, The Unbroken Thread
DESCRIPTION:Elizabethan Embroidery and the Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608\nThis event is free for EAC/ACB members. Members\, sign in to My EAC/Mon ACB to register for this presentation. \n\n4:30 pm Newfoundland Standard Time\n4 pm Atlantic Standard Time\n3 pm Eastern Standard Time\n2 pm Central Standard Time\n1 pm Mountain Standard Time\nnoon Pacific Standard Time\n\nThe Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608 is a collection of handwritten notes and drawings.  Thomas Trevelyon\, a London craftsman of whom little is known\, created his miscellany when he was about 60. The Miscellany is best known for a series of embroidery designs\, which have become a treasure trove for embroiderers and costume designers. Unpainted motifs of carnations\, roses\, cowslips and columbine or acorn and oak leaves indicate Trevelyon might have had a career in textile design! \nWe will see a facsimile of the Miscellany and explore the embroidery designs within. Participants will see both current and Elizabethan examples of embroidered pieces taken from the designs of Trevelyon. We will explore the Miscellany online at the Folger Library in Washington\, DC\, and those resources will be shared with participants. \n \n  \n \nKathy Andrews is a textile artist and embroidery teacher who works with students of all abilities\, teaching them the techniques and the joy of hand embroidery. \nWith her enthusiasm for stitch and encouraging classroom atmosphere\, she is a sought-after teacher of embroidery. Kathy has taught at EGA National Seminars\, for EGA chapters in the USA\, and globally in her many online courses. Her popular and engaging lectures are in demand both in person and on Zoom. She received her Certificate of Technical Hand Embroidery with Merit from the Royal School of Needlework and her City and Guilds Certificate in Design and Stitched Textiles. \nHer work has been exhibited at the Knitting and Stitching Show in London and Harrogate\, UK and Dublin\, Ireland\, at the William Morris Gallery\, London\, at Kelmscott Manor\, Oxfordshire\, UK and at Wrightwick Manor\, Staffordshire\, UK. Kathy is a member of the Cedar Valley Chapter of the EGA\, the EGA Fiber Forum\, the Textile Society of America\, the Minnesota Needleworkers Guild\, the Stan Hywet Needleworkers Guild and the Columbia Fiber Arts Guild.

SUMMARY:Speakers Series: Ephemera and Needlework Design with Rebecca Ringquist
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow EAC/ACB members to find how items of collectible memorabilia\, typically written or printed\, originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity\, influence Rebecca’s design process. \n \n \n \nThis event is free for EAC/ACB members. Members\, sign in to My EAC/Mon ACB to register for this presentation. \n\n5:30 pm Newfoundland Standard Time\n5 pm Atlantic Standard Time\n4 pm Eastern Standard Time\n3 pm Central Standard Time\n2 pm Mountain Standard Time\n1 pm Pacific Standard Time\n\nRingquist’s embroidered pieces amalgamate multi-layered fabrics\, overlapping narratives and technicolour stitches that characterize Ringquist’s repertoire of work. She incorporates standard and unconventional techniques by working with a sewing machine and hand. She views embroidery used in this manner as similar to painting; her stitches overlap\, creating many layers and textures. The work uses decorative cloths\, vintage fabrics and old hand-stitched cloths made by other embroiderers. In re-using such materials\, she removes them from their original context and thus alters their meanings. The re-constituted cloths help create the sense of fairy tales or myths. The stories\, as told by her stitches\, insinuate many narratives but never reveal the entire story. \nRingquist is a Portland\, Oregon-based visual artist. Ringquist creates embroidered artwork and runs her own design company\, Dropcloth. Her work extends the traditional fibre art processes by dealing with vintage fabrics\, utilizing the sewing machine\, and applying hand-embroidery techniques. Ringquist was a professor for seven years in the Department of Fiber and Material Studies at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is also the author of Rebecca Ringquist’s Embroidery Workshops: A Bend the Rules Primer.

Isabella writes\, directs\, produces\, and hosts the podcast\, which has thus far had 62 episodes\, including discussions about Gee’s bend quilts\, mourning hairwork\, Māori weaving\, schoolgirl samplers\, and interviews with textile historians\, makers\, researchers\, and museum professionals.

Isabella manages Witney’s Instagram\, Twitter\, and Facebook\, in addition to running a successful Twitter account dedicated to her research and objects of interest and an Instagram account celebrating embroidery from all regions and time periods.
