Fibers Professor Jo Stealey is teaching a 3-D Calisthenics workshop after the conference for the Master Workshop Weekend http://www.arrowmont.org/workshops-and-classes/master-weekend
Information about the Conference: Made/Aware, has found the perfect setting at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts. The intensive will offer participants meaningful interactions with accomplished artists and designers whose community art practices have global impact.
Featured presenters Mary Fisher, Charllotte Kwon, Rowland Ricketts III & Laura Sansone will activate ideas for socially engaged projects - from preserving indigenous natural dyeing processes to building craft collectives for African women dealing with AIDS to up-cycling used clothing into new designs to conceptualizing impactful community projects. They are committed to being the change they'd like to see. They'll be our guides as we contemplate our own visions for a better world and our facilitators as we use our own creativity to build awareness about issues of concern in our own communities.
Presentations, discussions and demonstrations will alternate with hands-on mini-lab experiences and interactive events. Ample time to network with other participants will help spark ideas for new projects, dynamic partnerships and creative collaboration.
