What:
The Humboldt Handweaver’s and Spinner’s Guild April Meeting will be held at the Humboldt Area Foundation at 373 Indianola Road in the Large Meeting Room. The date is April 8, 2010 and our program will be Painting on Silk and will be presented by Margriet Seinen. In the early eighties, after a background in fabric arts, most recently large soft sculptures used in department store, home, business and restaurant decorations, Margriet Seinen moved to a country setting without electricity and needed a new art form. She found some silk dyes and resist in a shop and without any instruction set out to temporarily paint a pretty design or two. This dalliance turned into an irreversible addiction. She painted pillows, scarves, wall hangings, clothing, but now focuses only on “fine art” paintings. All her work is painted on silk.
Her work has been shown in galleries in The Netherlands, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, Washington, Oregon, New York City, and California. Two of her pieces are published in “The Best of Silk Painting ” by Janas and Tuckman, 1994. She will do a slide show presentation covering 28 years of silk painting from pillows to scarves to fine art. She will describe the various techniques she uses, sources of inspiration, and types of dyes and silk used. Please join us for this exciting program. We hope to see you there.
