Japanese, who lived in small villages surrounded by mountains, had to repair their clothing and fabric by hand-stitching because of limited resources. They didn’t have enough money or logistics to get the new fabric from the market. In other words, they had to repair instead of replace their fabric. They patched a hole in one piece of fabric, then kept using it. When they found another hole, they patched it or mended it. The repetition of hand-stitching/repairing made a great art piece, and it is called <b>Boro</b>.</span></p><span class="im" style="background-color: white; color: #500050; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #6b6b6b; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Today we create artwork that is often made with hand-dyed indigo-colored cloth and sometimes using items that we have in our closets and drawers, like the pocket of a pair of a family member’s jeans, or a small pile of cloth that is cut up using items from thrift stores or household linens, work a bit and often with holes of tears that leave the cloth in conditions that require mending.</span></p></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #6b6b6b; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">The focus for our workshop day is building on the fabric we have, using the art as a learning session to encourage working along with the handouts/samples I will share and encourage you to be inspired by and strive to create your own designs.

Our Centre is steps away from the Lake Ontario Waterfront shoreline and is certainly an inspiration for students coming to enjoy learning and creating with our Resident Artists and instructors.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I have planned a fun-filled opportunity for you to come and enjoy an opportunity to learn about working with friends in our Community of Fibre Artists and those who are learning the art of creating with Natural Dyes (we will be using Jacquard Natural Indigo in this workshop weekend).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mark your calendars and visit the Eventbrite link above to join me for these two days as our students will dye their pre-scoured cloth (2 metres of the beautiful white cotton lawn I use in all of my dyeing work will be provided to each student) or yarns of their choice with INDIGO dye the first day. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">On Day Two, students will enjoy time and space for creating new artwork at their own tables and with their cloth or yarns that were created on day one. A supplies list for what you need to bring for the workshop weekend will be supplied with confirmed registration. Sewing machines and related accessories including rotary cutting tools, scissors, and threads are needed. (or stitch by hand - your choice)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Hope you will join me as we share two great creative days together... dye play is exciting and learning the many various techniques for folding, clamping, tying, and stitching designs for your samples. The fun of dipping your cloth into the dye vats is a valuable skill. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">On Day Two, we will find students creating a new piece of their own original artwork... or perhaps a small garment or other items like Jornal covers, home decor items of your choice.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Seats are LIMITED to 10 participants and so, please don't wait!

This artwork will be passed along to my son and his son and hopefully, the message will travel forward - the EARTH is our responsibility!

This work is a treasure as Joan is a renowned Ontario and Canadian Artist - I am blessed.</p><p>Me - well I have been housebound due to a back injury for almost a week now, but mending nicely. </p><p>Hoping to have some additional walking photos to share soon... see below... Cataraqui Trail. Until then... lots of HGTV, some reading including some new planning for weaving when I can get back to my looms. Looking forward to the last of fall days watching the weather change and my Lake Ontario view outside my Studio window tell her story!</p><p>Bethany</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC3wEIhdvKW_P0dILflgr6wh5TwVrcdAZ9Z9CDPGwPh40ILAvOl9z-L9sWmBn-zCyPPIFA3Z4K_v4EBsN2ZqHuS8__5NwbGq7NHjswntbIJfOZurt1gX5ZynPLWBXa1BQMk454uvSjebTZ/s2048/IMGP4812.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

We arts practitioners are busy enjoying walks, taking solace in the world around us, and yes, setting calendar dates for possible openings for galleries and shows. MAYBE even being together with the friends and relatives we all love so very much to be with... LIVE, in the same room or at least out of doors... a few feet apart!</span></p><p>Living in the beautiful City of Kingston, ON, and sharing the water views from Lake Ontario through my Studio window with a few visitors is wonderful! As the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning opened its doors once again to the public - all Kingston Frontenac Health Unit rules in place and being observed so well, we are seeing a few visitors now and then. Many folks are just staying close to home and immediate family!!</p><p>I recently accepted an invitation to become a member of CLOTH IN COMMON, a tremendous 12 Artist Collective of the most amazing artists, living and practicing their art worldwide. Having followed this group for MANY years now as they shared their new artwork, created in the homes/studios that I would dearly love to be able to step into one day... I am honored to have this opportunity. Over the past few weeks, I finished my first contribution to the group's ROUND 3 Series. Each year, 6 quilts, created by each member, working on the agreed STRUCTURES theme and with a prompt by Karol Kusmaul to work on FACES.</p><p>My 40"h x 26"w quilt started with the base fabric from Cultured Expressions and owner Lisa Shepherd in New Jersey, USA. Her cloth lines are original, created by young artists in Africa, and are a group I have supported with cloth coming into my collection over many years. This piece is Jacquard linen, hand-dyed and purchased as a 2 m. piece. It speaks to me of the virus that is circulating through the background of our lives... and while yes, I know this piece was created long before we knew about the Covid-19 virus, the artist who created the cloth may have had experience with circulating. deep visions in her own creative mind.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9bqqDw7ZLAaS7kGWa3mUPez3KlgPhJphTUFa_niQDeJKodyCVT_mQkIj2kLq1S2QSZQ4Mgf5gBNxQPVamS3dSkbzMPo3qMC8A3bobW86XuhQpKeNw28wULFszJWGrvEsIWUBhuoyLRjnp/s3620/3-1%252C+GARNER%252C+CIC+project%252C+2021+July.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3620" height="534" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9bqqDw7ZLAaS7kGWa3mUPez3KlgPhJphTUFa_niQDeJKodyCVT_mQkIj2kLq1S2QSZQ4Mgf5gBNxQPVamS3dSkbzMPo3qMC8A3bobW86XuhQpKeNw28wULFszJWGrvEsIWUBhuoyLRjnp/w640-h534/3-1%252C+GARNER%252C+CIC+project%252C+2021+July.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>I selected fabrics from my growing Marcia Derse collection, and drafted some small line figures and card stock patterns, and got going... creating a group of ten figures with BLANK faces - unknown but collective friends I may know, but perhaps are gathered somewhere about the world during these pandemic days. What are they considering -<i> <b>"QUESTIONING, What's Next"</b></i>.

</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">During the past year, the time I have been able to spend with my Arts Practice while a Resident Artist at the TETT Centre's CREATIVITY STUDIOS has been a quiet meditation on the situation we have all been exploring together during the Pandemic Days here in Canada and specifically in Kingston.</p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am so pleased to be one of nine Resident Studio Artists who each practice their skills and create amazing new art in their studios at the TETT. Since joining the cohort in 2019, I have so enjoyed the opportunity to share my skills and artwork with students and visitors across the Kingston and Frontenac County area and beyond. While time is available. we each use our studios to create as pandemic Health Regulations allow. The chance to be actively teaching our in-person classes has been restricted for quite a long time. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>WE MISS YOU, our art friends, dancers, musicians, and visitors!</i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This presentation allows me the chance to not only support the Kingston Arts Community through your registration and attendance at the <b><i>TETT Centre's TETT TALK on May 20t</i></b>h but to have the time for sharing an evening of my artwork, talk about what inspires me to continue exploring new skills and techniques. It will be fun to enjoy an in-person chat with each of you attending and share how I have survived the quiet days and weeks during the pandemic's progression over the past 13 months.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I do hope that you will come along and enjoy time with our Community friends who love a Zoom talk... and the chance to have time for questions and share your thoughts about your artwork is important to me. We will have time at the end of my presentation to do just that!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Joining the presentation is easy: just click on the <u>EVENTBRITE link</u> at the top of the page and register through their tickets portal for your seat in our evening talk. The donations of your fee will go directly to the TETT Centre for the ongoing support of classroom events starting as soon as our KFL&A Public Health professionals are able to lift the restrictions for in-person classes at the TETT. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">We all look forward to those wonderful days with area friends and especially the youngsters to seek to come and visit and learn with us here at the TETT.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THE LINK to register with friends near and far.

The sun rises earlier now and the days are growing longer, and the clouds have been moving out. Bits and pieces of the world are seeming to fall into place as the green of newly sprouting tiger lily pants are just outside the bedroom window, and the crepe myrtle plants are coming back to life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have been creating art and using studio time for some "just be in the space" time. One new Indigo quilt hanging on the wall and another is awaiting its change for being under the needle. A goal is to work toward surrounding myself with Indigo this spring and celebrate BLUE - blue water and blue skies and all things blue. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWsAAZfa-wHYtKfLgiJm0SGJgCeob6TXM3gV1xbtwoxYSF4eIwNaNue4e4qMlFAesvpPkwnOews2M6SdgFkyj5JMAQkWvCO0LCWGtQGHvWDSI4rftbKgyz1pigDPqVQ81X4ET6f68i8DY/s2048/For+the+Love+of+Blue%252C+bethany+garner+2021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1720" data-original-width="2048" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWsAAZfa-wHYtKfLgiJm0SGJgCeob6TXM3gV1xbtwoxYSF4eIwNaNue4e4qMlFAesvpPkwnOews2M6SdgFkyj5JMAQkWvCO0LCWGtQGHvWDSI4rftbKgyz1pigDPqVQ81X4ET6f68i8DY/w640-h538/For+the+Love+of+Blue%252C+bethany+garner+2021.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />FOR THE LOVE OF BLUE, Bethany Garner </td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;">The Blue Jay and the Northern Bluebirds are returning to our yard, seeking nesting. The trails are open and the creeks are flowing. Porcupines are coming out of hiding and climbing to the tops of the newly budding maples to feast on the first leaves. Coyotes have returned to howling at the moon, and this week, our grandson stood on the deck with our son and listened to the song... wondering and waiting to see them, but they never appear...

I hope.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This piece was created as a replacement for several art quilts I made for the same CONNECTIONS Fibre Artists show at the Grimsby Art Gallery in 2020 which was canceled. I sold the three pieces to help support the rental payments for my studio space at the TETT Centre, and they were only in my collection at the studio for a short time. I am always happy to see my work appreciated and become part of a collector's art in their home or office.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This piece just needed to express a story - behind the screen printed barbed wire is a story of days that made me pause and consider a bit clearer what life is all about.

DONE!</p><p>So, as we move through the holiday weekend, and make our way along the "shutdown" days... may your lives be calm and the opportunity to create be a major part of your daily plans.

I hope to be able to continue with a more "reader-friendly" chat blog rather than always advertising classes and things to do... we are all doing a whole lot of "not much" just now, and that needs some support!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Has this been 'THE most difficult time in my life' for you and not just me?? I think about that a lot - and all of you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am so pleased that the calendar has turned and that we are all thinking about changes happening in the world that are on the POSITIVE side rather than focusing on difficult days. January has been just a bit scary lately - so hoping that you are all focusing on support for our Community, neighbors, and friends.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here in Ontario, we are on a "soft lockdown" or pandemic holding period and once again a 'Stay at Home' order has been issued that is focused on keeping us all safe and protecting our neighbors and those we come into contact with as well as our family members and ourselves.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaJFhho0Jto1yLu1ckpOUEEM1nZnAJuV4dOrFI_yJKF6p9LYZfe54S3nk_du2MbIuNghoG36oQAtOFo0Gm7Jd2T-6dUtmmFdDT_eftFzo_u7qSwnHAEXC9OtPonmprQ9wgeQYUF1T_3js/s4320/DSC09744.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3240" data-original-width="4320" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaJFhho0Jto1yLu1ckpOUEEM1nZnAJuV4dOrFI_yJKF6p9LYZfe54S3nk_du2MbIuNghoG36oQAtOFo0Gm7Jd2T-6dUtmmFdDT_eftFzo_u7qSwnHAEXC9OtPonmprQ9wgeQYUF1T_3js/w640-h480/DSC09744.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">Sewing, design play, and my weaving practice continue in my Studio 214D space at the TETT. I am still traveling into Kingston (when the weather permits) to my little Stone-walled Artist's Studio at the TETT Centre here in Kingston, ON. It is both a sanctuary and a place to contemplate my next steps.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am loving the camaraderie of the other six Creativity Studios Resident Artists and great artist friends who are allowed into our BIG EMPTY BUILDING because our Studio spaces are like apartment rentals - we can come and go, but it is lonely (and sad that we do not see friends and neighbors coming for their "Art" fix.) The Galleries are dark, the Weavers, Potters and Lapidary Guilds and the Dance School is not running classes at all... with the only people in the building being staff, and who are Guild members and have building access on a very limited basis. I have Lake Ontario just outside my window, so the days pass quickly, watching the skies and the changes in water and weather...</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Busy working on a new project quilt - for the CONNECTIONS FIBRE ARTISTS group exhibition entitled "RE: Connections" that was to open in FERGUS, ON in early February. The Opening is now delayed by the pandemic shut down. We are hoping for a Gallery Opening for the exhibition with limited admission for visitors on February 20th (please follow the Wellington County Museum and Archives website for more information), but there will not be our normal and much-loved Opening Reception this year.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This artwork just happened - fun, bright colours and with a focus on an artifact from the Museum's Archives - "Two Girls and a Canoe".

Thanks to Tett Staff for assisting with the extra space allocation!<p></p><p>A commitment to <u><b>wearing their face masks all day for 6 hours straight both days </b></u>was a requirement and the artists who were working together in this Retreat were bold, committed, and did just that! We shared lunchtime out of doors, and we had some great conversations over the work tables that included how we are each managing through this difficult time. Most agreed that having the peace and joy of hand and machine work to fill some of our days is a blessing.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3240" data-original-width="4320" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBz5MYkRwIJa9Ajd4JcO6BGyoU-NGhgebjqeINEEk6nVooFs9RFIj_c6PtE_thYtWLVu4tGV1DHNfcGxf7BB0GK_2P9QCgXXBRasoIqcIxgS9fgQmKaKIL-tpqbmVh5GVtGLl2VX2xcuQ5/w640-h480/DSC00595.JPG" style="text-align: left;" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">We welcomed a wonderful young aspiring Textile and Design student, Lia Mei Pilon McKeen, from OCAD University in Toronto who is starting her first year by working online at home here in Kingston.

Your original design will use a favorite palette from perhaps a very traditional stash or go to super contemporary with just the click of the scissor blades and the fabrics that YOU choose to bring along! This is intended as a STASH BUSTER workshop day.... so go searching through the closets and see what works for you! OR visit the local quilt/fabric shops and bring a small supply to get started on new work!</p><p style="color: #6f7287; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">Below is TURNING POINT ...machine pieced and quilted created for the SAQA “My Corner of the World-Canada’.

I have made numerous Improv pieces that will be in the classroom for you to enjoy! Just come love the freedom of the piecing - playful in it's own, unique "it just happened this way" results!</p><p style="color: #6f7287; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">Really, NO PATTERNS NEEDED -bring your sewing machine (or stitch by hand) and a big box or bag of the scraps (or new, yet to be used) fabrics that have been haunting you, cluttering your closets or sitting in the pile - the pieces that you painted or dyed or bought on a whim and WANT so much to use up and turn into a new quilt, art piece or a gift for someone special. Threads of all types are welcome!</p><p style="color: #6f7287; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">These are days among friends to learn a bit more about how I start and work through my free form quilts – YOU can take yours to bed quilt size or create a small 12 x 12 to get started! SO MUCH FUN!</p><p style="color: #6f7287; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">*A supplies list will be sent along immediately to paid registrants.</p><p style="color: #6f7287; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">* You will receive a comprehensive handout package for after class reference.</p><p style="color: #6f7287; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">Simple cutting – scissors work! Simple sewing – just straight seams! Assembly – FUN!</p><p style="color: #6f7287; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;"></p><p style="color: #6f7287; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 0px;">Please note that this class is non-refundable.
