As I Saw It Artist Talks
December 9, 3p – 5p
Join for an afternoon of artist talks with Daphne Minkoff, Grace Weston, and Jan Waldon, currently featured in the exhibition As I Saw It.
This event is free and open to the public. RSVP here.
Derelict homes in Seattle are reconstructed with paint and collage in Daphne Minkoff’s Facades series. For Bentonville Arkansas-based artist Jan Waldon, stitching elaborate patterns over personal photos of mountain ranges that hold emotionally charged significance acts as a process of contemplation, meditation, and healing. Portland-based Grace Weston uses vintage Barbie dolls to stage and photograph unsettling scenes of cinematic noire to amusing effect.
Artist Workshop – Jan Waldon will host a Vintage Photo Embroidery Workshop
December 10, 1p – 3:30p
Breathe new life into vintage photos with needles, thread, and creative stitching! AMcE artist Jan Waldon will teach you basic embroidery, stitch, and pattern techniques to embellish and transform vintage photographs and postcards into works of art.
All materials are provided, and guests are invited to bring along personal photos or prints if they wish. All experience levels are welcome; no prior experience needed.
This is a ticketed event and spaces are limited. RSVP here.
