Developing beauty as we use fibre as our medium, building skills, creative design exploration, the use of exciting new techniques, focused time with an experienced, well recognized and celebrated Instructor intent on focusing on her students in a classroom setting... that is what FIBREWORKS Kingston Weekend Workshops Series is all about.
It has been decided mutually between Instructor and FW Coordinator that the timing is just not right for continuing to market GORDANDA BRELIH's wonderful workshop " Putting it all together - CONNECTING FRAGMENTS". The September 18-20th Weekend workshop is cancelled. Workshop registration payments have been forwarded to our registered students with regrets.
It has been many years since we cancelled a workshop weekend, and at last fall's opening workshop weekend, students shared that the month of September was a "best month" for a workshop before meetings started, family commitments began to build and while the weather was still beautiful for travel. Both Gordana and I have had mixed feelings about cancelling a workshop we both looked forward to bringing to you.
Gordana has just returned to Canada after an extended trip to her home country of Serbia, and the exciting negotiations for a Solo Exhibition to be held in her homeland next year. This is very exciting news, and the workload to complete all new work to travel to the exhibition requires devoted time and energy. While Gordana was certainly excited about the opportunity to bring our FIBREWORKS students her vast inventory of skills and techniques in this wonderful new workshop, she understands that life sometimes gets in the way... travel, work and studio time is a priority for all of us.
So we will leave the low registration debates for another time and hope that this fall will be an exciting and productive time for all of our area friends in fibre. Make time for creating all new work, developing skills as you dye, paint, eco-print, explore your machine, value time with friends in fibre related groups and as individuals in studio....
Please stay tuned as we post the details of all three exciting FIBREWORKS Workshop Weekends
