<span style="color: blue;"></span><br />
<br />
Susan Klebanoff has been creating unique tapestries for over 30 years. Klebanoff, now a New Mexico resident, had a one-person exhibit in Chevy Chase, MD in 2011. Returning to the place where she grew up, she explained her process this way “I was inspired to create this unique form of tapestry when I was swimming one day and decided to create works of art that mimic the “ephemeral” feeling of being underwater”. She developed the unique weaving and multi-layered relief process over a period of time, beginning with simple square formats and a limited color palette. “I wanted to know what the colors were doing with space,” says Klebanoff, who begins her process by painting the yarn by hand. She experimented with getting rid of color altogether and using all white, a technique she said helped her realize she could “create imagery through the shadows.”As her process evolved, Klebanoff began producing more complex works that range anywhere from a couple of feet to many yards. With each piece, the background layer is solid, while three to four layers in front contain woven and sewn shapes that give the piece movement and form.<br />
<br />
Her works are in private collections, embassies, and corporate headquarters, as well as museums around the world. Most recently, this year, she has lectured and exhibited in Bangkok Thailand, Seoul Korea, and Tokyo Japan.

These traditions continue in the small communities of Mora, Taos, Tierra Amarilla, El Rito, Española, Truchas, and Chimayo, each one bringing a specific contribution to the art and practicality of fiber.<br /><br />This film was produced by Andrea Heckman. Andrea has a PhD in Anthropology Art History from UNM. She is an author, an award-winning documentary producer, and owner of Andean Software (clothing and textiles from the Andes) in Taos.

Many have visited the trade cities of Bakara and Samarkand and Merv as they have become popular as tourist destinations. What most do not realize is that there existed a widely used trade route through Central Asia nearly 3,000 years BEFORE the so-called Silk Road. Three distinct cultures participated in this endeavor: Middle East nomadic pastoral groups, the highly civilized culture of China, and Mongol and barbarian hordes from the north. Each group made enormous contributions to textile history with their dress and costumes, from simple garments to the elaborately embroidered and surface embellished. In addition to a brief history of Central Asia and the geography of this vast land we will discuss each of these three groups to discover their textile techniques and traditions.<br /><br />Margy Norrish has studied, researched, and appraised textiles for more than 20 years. A member of the Textile Society of America, Textile Museum, and former Friend of the Textile Department of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston she has attended numerous seminars and workshops in textile history and identification. Currently, Margy is researching and writing an introductory course in Textile History, from prehistoric to modern textiles.Las Tejedoras Fiber Arts Guildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12158252877543000999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263775304570923222.post-8405762551044472342012-02-23T06:53:00.003-07:002012-02-23T07:03:09.198-07:00Color Indulgence Workshop with Ted Hallman<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">This is a not to be missed opportunity to learn from this master weaver</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> in a relaxed atmosphere with other beginner to advanced fiber aficionados.</span><br /><br />For fiber persons there is nothing like studying our favorite subject, COLOR, in an experiential way. In this workshop, we are fortunate to have a source of yarns to “work with” so that we can carry out our color tests, ideas and theories in yarn. What a rare indulgence!<br /><br />Besides which, you are welcome to bring in some lengths of your own yarns, adding to your own personal enjoyment. Some of the areas covered include: What are we wanting to express in our color choices when we make a piece—whether woven, knitted, crocheted, collaged? What are the possibilities? How do we choose the appropriate color? Together we will begin to explore these and other ideas with color sketches in yarn. We will question color rules and color theories and see if we can discern wherein lies the magic of color.<br /><br />When: May 30-31, 2012, Wednesday & Thursday, 9:30 a.m.—4:30 p.m.<br />Where: Westminster Presbyterian Church, Santa Fe, NM<br />More Info: <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=1XTbIt-KdNQ2pBRvVZkBDRx1yNQ-t__9mENBgkgU67jTli0vR5l3RyqIWYcM6">Full information can be found in the online flyer.</a>Las Tejedoras Fiber Arts Guildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12158252877543000999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263775304570923222.post-91397044728047744522012-01-28T07:26:00.002-07:002012-01-28T07:31:49.230-07:00February Guild Meeting – Barbara Tyner<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">From Rainbirds to Rainbows:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Women Artists and Abstraction in the Southwest with an Emphasis on Weavers<br />Presented by Barbara Tyner</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Tuesday, February 7, 2012<br /></div><br />Georgia O’Keeffe’s velvety abstractions of landscape, bones and stones signify art in New Mexico, but abstraction in the Southwest is nothing new. Indigenous women potters, painters and weavers have been working in abstract modalities – from stylization to abstract geometric patterning – for thousands of years. Maybe it’s the chile.<br /><br />Barbara Tyner worked formerly as a southwest archeologist and journalist. She is currently an adjunct professor of art history in the School of Art and Design at Santa Fe Community College, and serves as the New Mexico Committee Ambassador to the National Museum of Women in the Arts. She is writing a book as well as curating an exhibition on three thousand years of New Mexico women artists.<br /><br />Barbara is a Canadian-American art historian, writer, curator and film-maker. An acclaimed and exciting speaker, she lectures widely on her specialties – women’s art history and the arts of Native America. Her knack for storytelling and her playful approach to art history reflect her interest in making art and culture accessible to all and a normal part of daily life.<br /><br />Westminster Presbyterian Church, Santa FeLas Tejedoras Fiber Arts Guildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12158252877543000999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263775304570923222.post-67133616477516389762011-12-30T07:11:00.002-07:002011-12-30T07:17:40.931-07:00January Guild Meeting - Lisa Trujillo<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">Saturday, January 7, 2012</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">9:30 am - Noon</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br />Westminster Presbyterian Church, Santa Fe</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Lisa Trujillo</span><br />Award-winning tapestry artist, weaving in the Chimayo/Rio Grande tradition, will discuss her work<br /><br />One week after graduating from the University of New Mexico with a degree in marketing, Lisa Rockwood married Irvin Trujillo and started her weaving career. Although Lisa had always been artistically inclined, she had never woven before meeting Irvin. She proved an apt pupil. She started by weaving small pieces and early on began challenging herself with more and more complex designs. She began dying yarn with natural dyes when she started weaving, and started spinning a couple of years later. As she continued to weave more complex pieces she would try weaving finer and larger pieces in the Saltillo style, using her own handspun and natural dyed yarns. Each of these projects took about a year to complete. Her other weavings allow her to pursue other ideas, and to work in other traditional styles.<br /><br />Lisa's designs are generally within the guidelines of traditional Rio Grande weaving. While she has great respect for the Rio Grande Spanish tradition, she was not born into the culture and tradition. Therefore, she brings her own non-Hispanic background to her weaving. Since it is impossible to keep from expressing herself in her weaving, the results keep changing as time passes.<br /><br />Lisa and Irv own and operate Centinela Traditional Arts in Chimayo, New Mexico. They both are award-winning artists whose work has been shown in, and collected by, museums across the United States, including the Smithsonian. If you haven't visited their studio you should go sometime. It's a lovely drive to Chimayo and Centinela Traditional Arts is an interesting place.Las Tejedoras Fiber Arts Guildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12158252877543000999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-263775304570923222.post-33378898068781267922011-11-23T16:50:00.003-07:002011-11-23T16:58:54.221-07:00Guild Meeting - Holiday Potluck<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday</span>, December 3, 2011</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" >9:30 am Stash Sale Setup</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" >10-12 Social Time, Sale and Potluck</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Westminster Presbyterian Church</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">841 W.

She's also a very good teacher and for several years has been teaching classes at Espanola Valley Fiber Arts Center in the fall. This year I have signed up for her block weave/weft-faced wool rug class and I need some fellow students so that the class will be a go! It will be held October 7-9 (Fri-Sun) and the product will be a table runner. Her website is <a href="http://www.fiberdesigns.com/">www.fiberdesigns.com</a>.
