----- Artful Women:Six Voices in Cloth, gallery opening
By Cindy Abraham

Permalink
Its not just a scrap of fabric.  Artists that work in contemporary textiles frequently go so much farther than typical of other art forms.  Where drawing and painting are often the finished product in other media, that is just where a fiber artist begins.  Using original designs the artists are frequently manipulating the material, dyeing, printing, painting, cutting, stitching, embroidering, embellishing, and then sewing pieces together into intricate patterns.  Often only to cut it all apart again and re-stitch it several more times.  When color, texture and design come together in this way, one can only admire the artistry involved.
 
In the next exhibit at the Gallery at 48 Natoma in Folsom, “ARTful Women: Six Voices in Cloth,” features the contemporary fiber art work by Pam Berry, Joan Dyer, Ann Sanderson, Lin Schiffner,  Gail Sims, and Sandra Poteet. The exhibit opens January 23 and continues March 12, 2015.
 
In the adjacent Community Gallery at 48 Natoma, a creative display of children’s art from the Brighton Elementary Private School will feature work from students in the 2 through 5th grades.  The children will display interpretations of various cloth and appliqué motifs done as works on paper.
 
The public is invited to celebrate both exhibits at the free opening reception on Friday, January 23, 2015 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, with refreshments, wine and live guitar music by Daniel Roest and flute by Francesca Anderson.
