Eleven noted visual artists have donated their time and talent to
create works of art for the Art
of Note project. Each artist was given a violin, unplayable
but once an instrument of beauty and creativity, as a blank canvas
on which to create a work in the distinctive style of the artist.
The artists have created a stunning collection of pieces that will
be raffled individually.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Speakers Bureau offers community
groups around the state the expertise of over 700 faculty and staff
from one of the nation's leading research universities. These speakers
can provide stimulating presentations representing a wide range
of academic disciplines and professional specialities.
Conference
of Northern California Handweavers
Weaving, spinning, dyeing, felting—if it has to do with fibers,
the Conference of Northern California Handweavers is interested
in it. Our purpose is to provide you with information about the
craft of weaving and other techniques of fiber construction. This
is accomplished primarily through presentations at our annual conference.

NEEDLEFELTING: A NEW ADVENTURE
Learn
a needle-felting process that is as spontaneous as drawing with
a pencil or finger painting.
It’s even erasable until “set” by felting!
Anyone who works with technical or material restraints will love
the freedom and playfulness of the process, but the class is not
about fairies or gnomes; through hands-on exercises and illustrated
lectures, we will learn about basic design elements, color theory,
and the nature and properties of fibers.
