Judith R. Shamp
Will do a presentation at the June meeting of Houston Area Fiber Artists
Generating Ideas for Art
What
provokes your creativity? Does your muse take you to new fiber frontiers to
explore unknown territory? Is there depth of character and symbolism pushing
into and through your art?
With a
power point presentation, hands on samples, works in progress and story telling,
Judith will share her exploratory adventure to California and how numerous treks
back to her home state engaged her muse and deepened her art. Prior to 2004,
symbolism began pushing her work into deeper and richer images as she was pulled
into family history in the popular Napa area of California.
She will
show specific ways of using templates, ways to layer sheer fabrics to bring a
depth of color/translucency into fiber work and how to work with particular
images in many formats, such as collage, quilting and framed pieces of fiber
art. Judith will introduce you to unique materials that she finds indispensable
to her artistic journey.
