Unitarian Church of Santa Fe
Corner of Galisteo and Barcelona
9:30 AM - Social
10:00 AM - Meeting
Contemporary design owes much to the Bauhaus--a school of art and design founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 and existing until 1933. The Bauhaus gave voice to new concepts of artistic creation, design, and teaching methods. It brought together some of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, including Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Johannes Itten, and Annie and Josef Albers.
Internationally acclaimed tapestry artist and teacher, James Koehler will discuss Bauhaus history and the design ideas that influenced his work and his approach to design. Particular emphasis will be placed on work that was done in the Bauhaus weaving workshop.
James will also show tapestries woven for his recent exhibitions with Rebecca Mezoff and Cornelia Theimer Gardella, entitled Interwoven Traditions: New Mexico and Bauhaus. This show ran at the Open Space Gallery in Albuquerque in July-August 2010. An exhibition with the same title, but largely different work is now at the Michaeliskirche, Erfurt, Germany, through October 2010.
You can read more about the Bauhaus Tapestry Project on the net. Visit James Koehler's website . Don't miss his video demonstrating the creation of a tapestry from design to dyeing to weaving.

May Guild Meeting
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Unitarian Church of Santa Fe
9:30 am - Social
10:00 am - Meeting
Joan Babcock learned macrame as a teenager in the 1960's. When she moved to Santa Fe in 1986, she rediscovered knotting in the form of knotted jewelry. She often uses the Cavandoli technique, a condensed form of knotting similar to weaving, in which a square inch can contain 250 knots or more. In addition to one-of-a-kind necklaces, Joan creates earrings, medicine bags, vessels, and decorative items, some of which incorporate pendants of silver, copper, and brass as well as a variety of beads in stone, metal, and glass. She gets her inspiration from tribal cultures, Asian art, and natural forms.
Joan's work can be found at Handwoven Originals and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Shop in Santa Fe, at Artemesia in Taos, and at Tamiko's Hamilton Montana. She has an Etsy page at http://www.etsy.com/shop/joanbabcockdesigns.
Joan teaches micro-macrame workshops and has published two instructional works: Micro-Macrame Jewelry (2005) and Micro-macrame and Cavandoli Knotting (DVD, 2007). Both are available from the author. For information, inspiration and additional information, visit her website:
http://joanbabcock.com/, Join us on Tuesday, May 4, to view Joan Babcock's work and be inspired by her adventures in knotting.
PS: Joan will teach at Convergence, SS701 Fundamentals of Micro-macrame and UB105, Cavandoli Tapestry Knotting

Nancy Judd
A Toyota convertible soft-top jacket with electric wire “fur”, aluminum flowers and leaves from Coke cans sewn to a cocktail dress, garments made from phone book paper, cassette tapes, rusty nails, junk mail, and even crushed glass --- all by artist, Nancy Judd, to provide conservation education. Nancy went from recycling educator for the City of Santa Fe to the creation of her own company, Recycle Runway. Her “couture” creations have been exhibited in airports throughout the US and she has been commissioned by corporations such as Toyota and Coca-Cola. She created three garments from Obama campaign materials that were exhibited at the Green Inaugural Ball and other inaugural events, and the “Obamanos Coat” was selected for display in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.
Nancy Judd will relate for us her truly fascinating story and exhibit and describe some of her creations. See her website at www.recyclerunway.com
