SUMMARY:How String Changed the World! A Conversation with Artist and Educator Cameron Taylor-Brown
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, February 12th from 7:30 to 9:00 pm (Doors at 7:00 pm)\, please join us in welcoming Textile Arts Los Angeles and Cameron Taylor-Brown for practiceLAB\, an artist conversation – How String Changed The World: An Exploration of Fiber\, Culture\, and Human Ingenuity. \nTraces of ancient flax – colored\, twisted\, spun and cut – show that textiles were already an integral part of human life 35\,000 years ago. Discover why humans first twisted fibers into thread\, and how this invention revolutionized early cultures. Track the history of flax\, wool\, silk and cotton in the ancient world\, view textiles through Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs\, and explore how string and textiles are woven into language and identity. We’ll follow the presentation with a hands-on exercise where participants will ply their own string and make their own cloth – and in the process discover why using the fiber arts as a vehicle for self-discovery and innovation is so satisfying. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nCameron Taylor-Brown was introduced to textiles by artist Ed Rossbach at UC Berkeley\, studied design at the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science (PCT&S) and worked as a fabric stylist in New York. She subsequently taught textile design and worked as an exhibition curator at PCT&S. Since 1985\, Taylor-Brown has lived in Los Angeles\, where she founded ARTSgarage\, a textile resource center. Her work is widely exhibited and is featured in publications including American Craft Magazine\, Fiber Art Now\, Handwoven and Shuttle\, Spindle and Dyepot. She teaches workshops at ARTSgarage\, schools\, guilds\, museums and conferences throughout the United States and Canada. She is a past president of California Fibers and on the advisory boards of the Fowler Textile Council and Textile Arts | Los Angeles. \nFOR INFO + TICKETS

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.
