Instructor: Kay West

Learn the simple figure-8 technique of fiber coiling or wrapping. All materials and equipment will be provided by the instructor and/or Art Salvage. Each participant will take home a finished fiber-wrapped medallion pin, plus an instruction sheet. You’ll see how to use the basic figure-8 wrap, add a new color or a new length of fiber, incorporate a decorative knot, and two different finishes. The same fiber coiling process, with your variations, will enable you to continue on your own to coil brooches, neckpieces, bracelets, earrings, baskets and/or sculpture. ALL SAME BASIC PROCESS.

Students will learn the eco printing on paper process. All materials and equipment are provided by the instructor and/or Art Salvage. Students will learn the basics of applying 2 different mordants to the paper and then layer the papers with plant material for steaming. Then we will open up the paper to see our results. The paper is ready to go home that day and when completely dry is great for greeting cards, collage, or other paper crafts. Students should end up with about 20 sheets of paper measuring approximately 6" x 4". Students will receive a syllabus to take home so they can repeat the process. Feel free to bring a snack and drink for yourself.

Come make artist trading cards (ATCs) with Theresa Vaughn and get ready for the next ATC swap.

Artist trading cards are miniature, original pieces of art that can be traded and collected by fellow artists and makers. ATCs measure 2 ½” by 3 ½” and anything goes, wherever your imagination takes you (collage/painting/drawing/stamping/etc). Learn how to make these tiny works of art,  share ideas and play. All materials provided.

Combine elements of poetry and collage in this hands-on workshop led by Spokane poets Kat Smith and Nance Van Winckel. We’ll cut, paste, combine, and erase to bring together words and images from a variety of sources — “pawing through popular culture like sculptors on trash heaps,” as writer Annie Dillard puts it. You’ll go home with an original piece of visual poetry, along with the skills to create more on your own. Source materials will be provided, but feel free to bring any books, magazines, postcards, etc., to incorporate into your poetic collage. All experience levels welcome.

Buy Art, Meet Artists, See Demos, and Engage with Organizations throughout the West Central neighborhood during this one day event.
