Our Book is: “Still LIfe with Oysters and Lemons” by Mark Doty
Mark Doty’s prose has been hailed as “tempered and tough, sorrowing and serene” (The New York Times Book Review) and “achingly beautiful” (The Boston Globe). In Still Life with Oysters and Lemon offers a stunning exploration of our attachment to ordinary things-how we invest objects with human store, and why.

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.
Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.

2022-09-17 09:00 - 2022-09-18 16:00 UTC
Mary McCauley – “Fabric and Form: Vessels”

“Fabric and Form: Vessels” Workshop
September 17 and 18, 2022 (Saturday and Sunday)
Workshop Description: Old and new, familiar and innovative, building on the past and exploring the unknown – these are the successful themes that form the approach of our workshop. Inthis workshop we put old, familiar skills to use in creating new and unique art forms. We will learn about using fabric to make vessels or “textile sculptures”, then design and construct our ownnew vessels using a simple, systematic process that allows for a great range of invention. 2 days, max class size 20.
Outline: Class members will design and create a 3 dimensional vessel or form, using my step-by-step process.

Introduction to 3 D fabric structures, examples and inspirations, discussion of 3 D design elements, symmetry/asymmetry, opportunities and limitations presented by fabric medium.
Design work: sketching the form, creating a template on paper, planning the construction sequence.
Constructing the panels, embellishment and “polishing the pieces”.
Assembling the form, putting the pieces together, wiring technique.
Finishing touches: Creating the base, labeling, final embellishment.
“Accessorizing”: storage/carrying box, photography tips.

2021-09-24 - 2021-09-30 | Zoom, Online, CO, United States
Closer Proximity
A window into social justice
Bryan Stevenson, Founder of the Equal Justice Initiative and “Just Mercy” Author, promotes the notion of engaging in closer proximity to understanding social injustice and activate solutions for change from a grass roots level. This show is an opportunity to explore visual arts windows into racial inequity, human trafficking, forced displacement, immigration, religious persecution, political power abuse, domestic violence, prison abuse, discrimination and the many injustices that infect our world in the hopes of recognizing and understanding injustice, in order to help bring justice to all. (As with any art show entry, the quality of the photograph matters.) Please include a one paragraph story or description of your art with your submission.

Our Humanity
As humans, we are endowed with an incredible range of abilities, emotions, and potential. We are unique. Aspects of our humanity can include our connections to others, accomplishing the things we find meaningful, or practicing our spirituality. Ideas for expressing this theme might be hands doing things, all or part of a face, images of ancestors, or the use of symbolism and text. Whatever you choose to do, it will have the stamp of your uniqueness on it. (As with any art show entry, the quality of the photograph matters.)
