I Don't Cook, fiber art by Lynn Anderson
CCCAC Kerredge Gallery April 8-May 3
Lynn Anderson started exploring fiber arts when she retired from her career as a teacher and teacher-educator 20 years ago. “I Don't Cook” represents her journey which started with beadwork and went on to weaving, rug hooking, surface design including hand painting, marbling, block printing, and botanical printing. In the past several years she has focused on slow stitching which she feels is the medium and technique that rings most true to her inspiration and voice as a fiber artist. Slow stitching is a meditative practice that is portable and does not require any planning or special supplies. This hand stitching technique results in engagement with the materials and acceptance of imperfections and surprise outcomes. Lynn uses fabrics that she has dyed with various techniques to finish with stitching.
Everyone is invited to Lynn's Opening Reception and gallery talk on Thursday, April 10 from 6-7:30pm. The following day Friday, April 11 there will be a Stitch Circle from noon to 1:30pm. Everyone is welcome to participate with their own stitch projects or observe various stitch techniques being done which includes slow stitch. Fabric, needle and threads will be available to those who would like to join in and try stitching. There is no fee to participate in this activity and learning opportunity.
