Stamp making workshop!
We’ll be making cool stamps out of soft foam, the stamps are easy to make, fun and can be used again and again. Come take a break and make a stamp, it can be as small or as large as you like. They’re great for cards, simple block prints, books, and letters.
Thursday March 5th, 8pm
Sewing Machine!
try using a new computerized sewing machine!
want to learn how to sew?
Just want to check out our AWESOME NEW SEWING MACHINE?
Take a break from mid terms and for the sweet and simple:
“How to Use a Sewing Machine Workshop” with Taylor Stacey!
TIME :8:00-9:00
Thursday March 5th
PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT TRAINED WILL NoT BE ABLE TO SEW ON THE MACHINE !
You MUST to come to one of Art Club’s quick Sewing Machine Demonstration sessions in order to have access to our new machine. Everyone needs to be trained in using the machine because all sewing machines are complicated and will break VERY easily if we are not careful.
These two events will be held during Community Art Night, but anyone is welcome to come and Community Art Night is still happening.
We want workshops in any possible topic. You really don’t need to be an expert, anything is great.
Please, if you are a member of the Bryn Mawr Community, think about teaching a workshop with Art Club.
Here’s how:
1. Come up with the topic. It could be anything that you like to do for instance topics in drawing, painting, sewing, paper making, book making, puppetry, collage, zine-making, embroidery, charcoals, pastels, poster design, stamp making, linoleum block printing, fabric dying, silkscreen, calligraphy, theater…the possibilities are endless. Art Club is open to anything.
2. Contact Angela Wang or Anna Lehr Mueser to see the studio, check out materials, and decide on a date and time. They will also discuss with you funding and any other concerns. You will be reimbursed for any purchases of materials!
3. Write up a blurb explaining the workshop, the time, the date, and the location. This will be used to advertise for you.
4. TEACH IT!
It should not be a scary prospect. There will be people available to answer any questions and to help you out. If you like to do it or find it relaxing, share it!
1. Budget Report from Marybeth
We will be reallocating money from restoring the letter press to food for an open mic event with kaleidoscope.
2.Review of materials purchased
We have bought paper, paint, brushes, silkscreen, paper making supplies, lino ink and blade holders, bookmaking materials
3.Cool new amenities
In Arnecliffe we have a living room equipt with a hotpot, tea and mugs.
4.Stuff we need to find or purchase—We need volunteers to help us pick up these things
Chairs, little table, more tea (we will possibly scavenge this), plastic spoons, empty plastic or glass containers.
The furniture is much cheaper if you can get to IKEA and pick them up instead of buying online. So we are looking for people that would be willing to drive one of us to the store to buy furniture.
5.Still On-going events
Community Art Night (8-10 Thursdays) All are welcome
Workshops — if you have anything art related you would want to teach, please consider teaching a workshop.
6.Art Club events going on
Open Mic with Kaleidoscope, March 19th
Studio Opening
Art Outreach
7.Art Club Mission
What should we be doing?
Are we doing it?
8. Faculty and Staff Access?
We decided that faculty and staff should have access to the studio and it should be free for them, like it is for students.
9.Office/major’s room
We talked about how we wanted to divide this area between stained glass club and the art majors of Bryn Mawr who want studio space.
Further talks with stained glass club are still needed.
10.Other ideas?
Do we want to take a trip to the PIA? – Anna is organizing a trip
Or to other art events in Philly?
Do we want to try and bring another area artist to campus for a one-day workshop?
11.GIFT FUND!
Donate! We have $14, which is not enough to buy a gift for anyone. There are e-mails about this.
During the Friday of Hell Week, Art Club hosted an alternative to confinement for the freshwomen. Thanks to those who came!
