Almost hidden in the basement of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, beneath galleries of historical objects and masterpieces, is the Asian Conservation Studio, where Philip Meredith quietly toils. Specializing in painting on paper and silk, Meredith, the Higashiyama Kaii conservator of Japanese paintings, has since 2004 worked on pieces in the collection that includes […]

To see online and in-person workshops, taught by Patricia, that are open for registration +click here By Patricia Belyea SEATTLE WA Earlier this month I taught an Improv + Curves Workshop in magical La Conner. Just one hour north of Seattle, this historic town overlooks the Swinomish Channel—with the snow-capped Cascade mountains in the distance. OKAN ARTS CURVES WORKSHOP The Workroom in La Conner Country Inn was our choice location. Our group visited Pacific Northwest Quilt & Fiber Arts Museum for a field trip and local restaurants for dinners, all on foot. This May’s Week-Long Workshop welcomed Okan Arts alumnae. These students have taken a Curves Workshop with me, either with Okan Arts in La Conner or Seattle, with their guild, or at a quilt shop. Because the alums already have an understanding of my curves technique, I can challenge them to take their skill set to a new level. For their projects, students made curved blocks using two or three fabrics—without a plan. Then, improv-fashion, they composed their quilt top layouts. The optional second project approached the Workshop theme of Improv + Curves in a reverse direction—creating improv fabric and then making a planned curved composition. Only one student progressed far with this assignment by staying up super late one night. PACIFIC NORTHWEST QUILT & FIBER ARTS MUSEUM EDUCATION & CONSERVATION ANNEX Amy Green, the Executive Director of the PNW QFA Museum, visited the Okan Arts Workshop for our Thursday afternoon Show ‘N Tell. Then Amy led us across the street to the Museum’s Education & Conservation Annex. This newly opened facility offers space for workshops on the main floor, and houses the Museum’s permanent collection upstairs. Amy explained that a recent bequest from Norada Shanafelt, a passionate quilter, gave the Museum the funds to begin this important expansion. A micro exhibit of four quilts by Norada honors her support. SYLVIA PIPPEN’S INDIGO STITCHES SHOP Some of my students found time to drop by Indigo Stitches on the waterfront. All the supplies and projects in the shop provide inspiration influenced by Sylvia Pippen’s years in Hawaii and the Northwest. Sylvia offers workshops in stitching and design in her shop classroom where a huge window looks onto the picturesque Channel. A not-to-be missed destination for quilters living in the region or for visitors from afar, La Conner beckons as a vortex for Northwest quilting and stitching. It's a great place for a getaway and a re-charge with an educational experience! # # # # # ABOUT US: Okan Arts, a petite family business, is co-owned by mother-daughter duo Patricia Belyea and Victoria Stone. Patricia and Victoria sell Japanese textiles online, host creative quilting experiences, and lead quilting & textile tours to Japan. FOLLOW OKAN ARTS ON INSTAGRAM @okanarts

A thoughtful survey of fiber sculpture and wall art portrayed in 335 vibrant images and insightful text. Explore the work of three generations of fine artists who have opened their minds and spirits to the boundless range of expressive possibilities in textile methods or materials. Even as the art on these pages references weaving, crochet or quilting, traditional textile notions disappear in the hands of serious artists, appropriating essential elements for their contemporary concepts. From looms, needles, embroidery hoops,and bare hands, ideas take form. Piles of cloth, yarn, beads, fragrant grasses, bamboo or other materials of unusual resistance absorb and then return an artist's creative energy. Each object is distinctive to each artist. The discrete marks made by a certain pair of hands tell us who made which treasures. Danish artist/critic Lisbeth Tolstrup refers to art created in fiber media as "windows into the wizard's workshop." Enjoy peeking through the windows of these wizards.
Undoubtedly the most important plant to early Māori, and one of Aotearoa’s earliest exports – the versatile flax plant! When 19th-century missionary William Colenso told Māori chiefs that it did not grow in England, they replied ‘How is it possible to live there without it?’ From the use of harakeke in every aspect of their daily life by early Māori, through to the trading and exporting of flax fibre from our local mills….. The ups and downs of the fibre industry and the slow decline (and eventual revival) of weaving as a cultural taonga. If you’re looking for a simple and eye catching way to review the important role that flax has played in the history of our country, then look no further than this classroom wall frieze! Just print and laminate before displaying in chronological order. Please check out the preview for a closer look at the resources in this pack! Included in this resource are: NZ harakeke/flax history timeline including: • 55+ important events in NZs flax history (from the first Polynesian peoples bringing their weaving skills, settling in Aotearoa and adapting to their new materials, through to the scientific discoveries surrounding flax use in the 2000s) • Each page is brightly illustrated to match the facts – perfect for supporting all levels of learners • Facts are presented in simple child speak where possible • Please note, no timeline can contain all the juicy tidbits from Aotearoa’s past…. If I’m missing something you consider important, please let me know! I’m happy to add additional facts. This resource is also included as part of this great value bundle! New Zealand Flax Mega Pack.
