Congratulations on putting it together and thanks for making it so accessible.” “…I love Access Art – I am really pleased we signed up! I am a member for my school and it has been a great inspiration even though we only recently joined.” “I love the site and it gives me a fresh perspective after teaching art for 20 years it’s easy to get into ruts of doing too much of the same stuff. There was one sculpture of birds that I incorporated into my curriculum this year and they are beautiful.” “I have enjoyed very much being a member and watching your charity grow from strength to strength. Long may it continue.” “The posts on Facebook that I quickly read and it triggers a little idea I can add to my lessons the next week bring art into all subjects. One such post was about making a little sketchbook. So I did! I made 70 from a paper for out year cohort to use whilst out on a field trip exploring our local area for our local history topic. No worksheets. ..just sketching.” “Your teaching resources are brilliant, so well worth signing up again” “I also wish to congratulate you on these amazing resources, it is a fantastic site.” “We love the AccessArt projects – they are stunning and inspirational – I have passed them on to other friends and colleagues who are equally impressed.” “The range of ideas and resources supports me in producing inspiring lessons for my students” “I have found it a hugely valuable resource, containing inspirational ideas. I particularly like the art starteractivities and being inspired by the art week activities.” “AccessArt is a fantastic inspiration to my own practice as a teacher and made it a far more enjoyable experience for me too…” “AccessArt has given me ‘permission’ to practice my teaching in a way that I feel has integrity and links to my own personal understanding of the creative process.” “A great psychological support to teachers /artists carrying the creative torch! ;- )” “…interesting and different ideas, that are not focused on a same end product for every child, but a creative experience for every child.” “I am a new user to AccessArt and have been amazed at the depth and breadth of your resources. There is so much I can use and which inspires me.” “What I love about AccessArt is the open, innovative and experimental nature of the projects.” “AccessArt has given me the courage to experiment. Gone are the days when all the children in the class draw the same picture & in comes free thinking, new ideas, discussions and thinking outside of the box.” “AccessArt has made me feel like making art is a real profession that can challenge us and make us grow in ways that we never knew we could.” “I LOVE the resources. I have replicated 2 projects and they worked brilliantly. The photos and breakdown of each project is enormously helpful… Thank you for all your efforts, it is making a big difference to my teaching practice.” “Brilliant projects for my pupils with Autism that were accessible by all and created fantastic results! It always inspires me to try new projects. “ “AccessArt has helped me to provide opportunities for children to be more independent in their work and gain the skills they need to progress as artists.” “Being featured on AccessArt has really given weight to what I am doing. I love the openness and sharing involved through AccessArt. “As a freelance artist and workshop leader it has been almost like having a friend to bounce ideas around with, getting so many balls rolling, and inspiring many projects.” “Really good to know there’s a community out there as when you are almost always leadingprojects alone. Great, thank you.” “What i particularly like are the warm up exercises for drawing that you share with us –particularly good at putting the kids at ease with the drawing process – and the projects can be followed easily.” “This site has grown spectacularly since I last explored it. It’s inspirational and packed with ideas and action. Thanks for all the work people.” Jan Miller Shares a Year's Worth of Art Teaching! Not to be Missed!

detail of a 19th century Suzani piece This weekend I attended the San Francisco Tribal and Textile Arts Show. And what a fabulous show it was, bursting with inspiring patterns, colors, textures. a large 19th century Suzani tapestry - all hand-embroidered Dealers from around the world come to this show, offering museum-quality antique tribal art, jewelry, and textiles.  Detail of an intense purple antique batik sarong. Note the tiny white dots that follow the form of each petal. My friend Daniel Gundlach from The Language of Cloth was there, along with noted batik expert Rudolf Smend from Cologne, Germany.  Nearby, a collection of Ottoman textiles caught my eye: Ipek Ottoman wedding robe with bullion thread detail of Ottoman wedding robe- intense ruby silk and silver bullion What is this intense ruby color? What pigment or dye makes this color?  I have to find out. large antique Suzani in fuchsia pink. Fabulous. detail of a splendid pink and black Suzani The color palettes in some of these fabrics are loaded with surprising combinations, and I found many of them remarkably modern looking. antique Japanese lined printed in an interconnected geometric pattern An antique printed and dyed pattern on gossamer light linen from Africa Marvelous patterns and colors can also be found in tiles, baskets, carpets...  antique Iznik tile  flat woven wool carpet (kilim) lush Moroccan berber carpets in black and white and rich colored  patterns from Gebhart Blazek, Austria a collection of antique African baskets from a Belgian dealer A colorful and abstract Saami quilt I was particularly intrigued by a display of vintage Saami ralli quilts -  made from discarded fabrics, pulled apart and recycled by the nomadic Saami people around Sindh, Pakistan, hand-dyed scraps are beautifully and simply assembled and embroidered.  This work is fast becoming a lost art.

Ikat is a near universal weaving style common to many cultures from Argentina to Java, from Uzbekistan to Japan.  It is one of the oldest forms of textile decoration. A rich woven silk Ikat fabric (Turkish) from the 19th century I found a length of antique printed fabric with a lovely patina, the kind of thing that influenced the work of Fortuny. I found it rather inspiring as well. antique printed fabric from Persia (?) Persian printed fabric, detail All photos in this post by Lynne Rutter,  February, 2013 - click on images to view larger.
