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: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 :: 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: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 :: The Art and Science of Appraising Needlework :: Laurie S. Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Attend The Art and Science of Appraising Needlework with Laurie S. Kelly to gain insights into how needlework is valued by professional appraisers. The presentation reviews the process for appraising personal property\, the valuation methods commonly applied to needlework and the “keys” to concluding value. \nSunday\, April 19 via Zoom \n\n\n \n4:30 pm Newfoundland Time :: 4 pm Atlantic Time :: 3 pm Eastern Time :: 2 pm Central Time :: 1 pm Mountain Time :: noon Pacific Time \n \nMembers\, log in to My EAC/Mon ACB to register for Laurie’s presentation without charge. The Speaker Series events are free for members!\nNot a member yet? You can purchase a seat for this Zoom webinar with Laurie S. Kelly. Please note that in order to provide registrants with the webinar information\, sales for this webinar end on Friday\, April 18\, at noon Eastern time. \nThe main discussion focuses on the “keys” to appraising needlework\, including identifying characteristics of value and the use of value ranking to pinpoint value. The discussion is highly participatory\, and we’ll walk through short case studies that illustrate how the appraiser applies both connoisseurship (“art”) and technical methods (“science”) to conclude value. You’ll be surprised to learn that you already have insight into the factors that affect the value of needlework. Finally\, the discussion includes specific factors that affect value\, including condition and provenance. The huge variety in needlework forms\, eras\, and regional variations makes every appraisal assignment a unique challenge. \nLaurie S. Kelly is a Certified Needle Arts Appraiser with training through the American Needlepoint Guild and the State University of New York (Purchase) in conjunction with the America Society of Appraisers. Laurie has fulfilled and maintains the requirements for the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice for Personal Property\, Gems & Jewelry and Technical Specialties with The Appraisal Foundation. In addition\, she is a member of the Embroiderers’ Association of Canada/Association canadienne de broderie\, the American Needlepoint Guild\, the Embroiderers’ Guild of America\, National Academy of Needlearts and the National Embroidery Teachers Association.
