The next guild meeting will be held from 1:30pm in the church hall behind St Paul's, 205 Burwood Road, Burwood, Sydney on Saturday, January 30, 2009.

My Journey in ArtCloth
Marie-Therese Wisniowski will discuss her background, textile practice, concepts and examples of work plus the curated ArtCloth: Engaging New Visions exhibition. She will bring some of her dyed and printed artcloth pieces for discussion as well as some hand printed scarves for interested members.

Marie-Therese specialises in ArtCloth and limited edition prints. Her current work explores contemporary post-graffiti socio-political and environmental issues. She employs dyeing, discharge, stencilling, hand painting, digital imaging, dye sublimation and silkscreen printing. Her ArtCloth and works on paper are widely exhibited nationally and internationally in Australia, Canada, England, Hong Kong, Ireland, Sweden, Thailand and the USA.

JANUARY MINI WORKSHOP
Share one good thing you learned this summer
Save the Show and Tell for the meeting but in the mini we have more time to talk about the good ideas and neat techniques learned at Summer School or rediscovered this summer. This will be a chance to consolidate what you learned because there is no better way to learn something than by teaching it to somebody else. It will also be a good time to suggest and schedule topics for minis throughout the year: while minds are buzzing with new ideas.

Mini workshops start at 10:30am in the small hall below the Guild rooms. There is a participation fee of $2 and sometimes a materials fee. If you have any ideas for minis contact Kris Supierz, at the Guild.

If you've always wanted to try spinning or weaving, but have been putting it off, the Guild has regular classes.

For those wanting to learn a new technique or try a new twist on something more familiar, the Guild offers workshops covering many areas of interest.
