SUMMARY:practiceLAB: Textile Arts Explores Meaningful Art Practices
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 29th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm\, please join us for Mindful and Meaningful: Exploring the Synergies Between Textile Waste and Fine Art Practice\, Textile Arts LA‘s inaugural session of practiceLAB\, featuring talks from artists\, architects\, designers\, and creatives. \nIn this session\, we are treated to a discussion of how artists and designers can work together to create a more sustainable future. Three Los Angeles based artists share their diverse practices and individual experiences\, creating responsible objects that honor the past and endure in the future. \nIf you attended the October Textile Slam you were treated to a sneak preview of this talk. We’re thrilled to invite the trio back for a longer form discussion of this critical topic: questions of sustainability\, reuse\, and upcycling are necessary considerations. Please join this lively presentation and discussion showcasing how three artists are responding. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \n \nRenae Barnard is a multi-disciplinary artist interested in exploring the network of interactions between environment\, perception\, and well-being. Using found materials and waste from the furniture manufacturing industry\, Barnard received her Master of Fine Arts from Claremont Graduate University and her BA from California State University\, Los Angeles. Barnard has recently completed projects in cooperation with the National Immigration Law Center and the City of Santa Monica Department of Cultural Affairs. She is a recipient of the Sue Arlen Walker and Harvey M. Parker Memorial Fellowship\, the Armory Center for the Arts Teaching Artist Fellowship\, The Ahmanson Annual Fellowship\, Lincoln Fellowship Award\, and Christopher Street West Art and Culture Grant. \n \nChuck Hohng is a Korean American artist\, born in Long Beach California. Chuck spent fourteen years of his early life in his family’s native South Korea. He received his undergraduate degree in Fine Arts from the University of Southern California and received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Art Center College of Design. His early childhood exposure to Catholic practice and a bicultural household furthered interests in vanitas\, identities\, symbols\, and rituals. Chuck makes a range of fiber artworks from teddy bears to haute couture hanbok. Exploring salvaged textiles connections to love and loss\, Chuck’s artworks give a physical body to intellectual and emotional experiences. He believes we can always grow out of the mud\, lift ourselves above the murky water and bloom. \n \nAneesa Shami received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in both Fiber and Art History from the Kansas City Art Institute. Aneesa’s work speaks to a broader understanding that we are all fundamentally human. She tries to utilize universal themes that are inclusive\, referencing the sublime\, and an otherworldly sense of the human conscious and subconscious. A love for repetitive mark-making drives her practice. Multiple strands of yarn\, strips of felt\, and even pen strokes build depth and density in each piece. Layers of material and process combine to lend the impression that there is more than what the eye sees. She recently completed a residency at the Helms Design Center\, is currently researching textile and fiber history and is completing large sculptural pieces in her current body of work\, Syndication.

SUMMARY:Modern Hand Quilting Workshop with Textile Artist Aneesa Shami
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to welcome our artist-in-residence this summer\, Aneesa Shami\, who will camp out inside the Helms Design Center to continue her work on pieces from her “Syndication” series\, as well as offer a suite of three workshops as part of the Helms fine art series\, remnant & artifacts. \nThese workshops will highlight weaving\, knitting\, and quilting as three major facets of textile and fiber techniques. Each session will dive into a brief\, introductory history of each technique followed by hands-on instruction and experimentation. \nVisit Aneesa during her open studio hours or join us for the final workshop. Participants are encouraged to play\, make\, learn\, and connect with fiber materials and techniques in new and exciting ways! \nModern Hand Quilting\nSaturday\, September 8\n10am – 1pm\n$75 + $15 materials fee \nIntroduction will cover a brief history and evolution of quilting\, with a focus on Wartime quilts\, Modern quilting\, and Art Quilts\, with a brief insight into Appalachian/Rocky Mountain quilts and the Gee’s Bend phenomenon. The hands-on workshop portion will consist of a learning how to quilt from start to finish. Participants will create a “micro-quilt” (approximately the size of one’s hand). Previous sewing experience is a plus\, but not needed. Techniques include basting\, hand-quilting/stitching\, and sewing a binding on. End product is perfect for a coaster\, mousepad\, wall hanging\, tiny textile\, or anything else your creative mind decides. \nAbout remnants & artifacts\nA well-lived life is often driven by a search to find meaning and purpose within a world that frequently appears irrational and chaotic.  We use our collected experiences — encounters with people\, places\, objects\, literature\, music and art — to develop a personal paradigm\, an internal language that helps us make sense of our significance and define our reason for being. \n\nPlease join us for an ongoing art series that examines the idea of ‘remnants and artifacts’\, the small remainders\, residues\, and unexpected revelations of the artist’s collected experiences as discovered within their body of work and provide us with a possible avenue for a deeper appreciation of the worldview that underlies their creative hopes\, dreams\, and fears.
