A hands-on creative thinking workshop by Mary Zicafoose

Nebraska tapestry weaver Mary Zicafoose will lead this process and facilitate your journey through a select series of studio exercises that focus on creativity, content, and personal voice. Artists of all media and persuasion are welcome.

November 22, Saturday, 1:30 - 3:30pm
Join this spirited conversation with the four artists featured in these exhibitions. It will include brief discussions by each of the artists followed by a question and answer session.
On the Matter of Trust
Polly Barton
With the lure of the new, the enticement to play, and perhaps the boredom of the familiar, distraction in the studio is so easy. Polly Barton will talk about her experience with her daily practice and the learning to return to trusting, that which is true.
What's Love Got To Do With It?
Mary Zicafoose
Highlighting those places, people, textiles and art object that have brought her great inspiration, Mary Zicafoose will provide an overview of her path as an artist and tapestry weaver.
Pattern and Process
Eleanor McCain
Delving into the inspirations and meaning in her work, Eleanor McCain will discuss the various series in which she is working.
Blurred Vision
Mary Anne Jordan
Mary Anne Jordan will share the resources, other artwork and artists, and the activities of daily life that inform her work and process.
Panel discussion tickets are $15. general public and $10. members. Purchase online or by calling 408.971.0323 x14.
