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. She and her husband are the third generation to live in the family home in rural Iowa.

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. Sew What? has had three formal seasons and is now releasing one-off episodes less regularly. \nIn addition to her Ph.D. and podcast work\, Isabella manages the social media presence of Witney Antiques\, Britain’s leading antique dealership of historical needlework and textiles. 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. She is currently co-curating an exhibition and co-authoring a book with Rebecca Scott of Witney Antiques.
