learn textile dyeing with shabd!

2011-10-06T12:57:00.001-05:00

Fiber Reactive Dyes with Shabd

Learn the process of Dyeing with Shabd, one of our generations leading dye-artists. In this 3 week class, Shabd will teach you the basic procedures for dyeing with Procion dyes, by immersion, painting and tie-dye, with both cellulose and protein fibers. You will learn various tying, dying and shibori techniques, as well as basic color theory and design concepts for dying. It will be fun, and colorful and bright! Discover the dyer in you and design your own dye patterns! Students will focus on swatches to perfect technique and in the last class work on individual projects.

No experience necessary. Our classes are designed to focus on a learned skill rather than a final product. At TAC, our mission is to provide skills and knowledge for a lifetime! All necessary materials are included for swatch making. Any additional fabrics and materials will need to be supplied by the student based on their vision. Also, we have Open Studio time for students to put their new knowledge to practice.

The Textile Arts Center is a beautiful 3200sf space in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens dedicated to providing support to fiber artists and everyday people interested in working with fibers. TAC holds classes, workshops and special events as well as running open studio hours, hosting gallery exhibits and running an artist in residency program.

Shabd Simon-Alexander is an internationally renowned dye artist. Her namesake clothing line is carried in high-end boutiques internationally. She has been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out, Daily Candy, Nylon, Blackbook, Dossier, Bust Magazine, on innumerable blogs, and was the first person to teach Martha Stewart how to tie-dye!

this is a topic near and dear to my heart, and i was outraged to read this e-mail from SAPLINGs Alice and Moriah of Feral Childe this morning! please read, and boycott Forever 21. this is one of the many reasons why i swore off buying clothing from mass market chain retail stores around 7 years ago... -cal

Dear friends,

A few weeks ago, we discovered one of our prints appearing on garments manufactured by Forever 21--a large, major retailer. Feral Childe's artwork was used without our permission or knowledge, and appears on multiple styles sold in the Forever 21 stores and on their website. Some styles have even received press. The print is our hand-drawn Teepees, widely featured in Feral Childe's Fall 2009 Collection School Play. Many of you have leggings, jeans, and dresses or other garments featuring our Teepees. The Forever 21 garments appear to reproduce Teepees exactly. If compared side by side you would not be able to distinguish any difference in the artwork.

Feral Childe has always strived to bring you the very best in innovative, ethically-produced clothing that is made to last. When we first started out we could only dream about the day when we'd be able to design our own fabrics. With the support of our community--friends, family, collaborators, showroom, suppliers, contractors, and our loyal customers--we have grown the business to be able to offer our very original, very personal hand-drawn textile designs to you each season.

For the past fifteen years, we have dedicated ourselves to this artistic partnership. Feral Childe's designs are the product of these years invested in our deep friendship and artistic training. We create textile designs reflecting a singular aesthetic voice. It can take months for us to develop Feral Childe's prints. The creative process begins with the two of us sitting side by side drawing and painting together and continues as we comment, critique and edit until we perfect the print design.

Through our hard work, Feral Childe has been sold in more than 70 independent retailers in the US and Japan. We feel fortunate to have weathered the recession and to be able to continue to do what we love. Even with our successes, we are a tiny company. Each wholesale account is a personal relationship nurtured over the course of seasons. Each customer we meet inspires us to design something better for you next time. If you are reading this, we could not have come this far without you. It simply is not fair that another party profits from artwork that was not created by them, was not their idea, and does not belong to them.

Forever 21 has unfairly profited from Feral Childe's years of artistic development. Without any consideration or respect for the origin of the artwork, Forever 21's mass reproduction of our textile design without our permission is extremely unethical, and in direct violation of the law. It's frustrating that this enormous company, with over a billion dollars a year in revenues, would dare to poach the artistic creations of a small company such as ours.

Our Teepees design is protected by law, registered with the US Copyright Office. When we sent Forever 21 our cease and desist letter regarding this copyright infringement, Forever 21 denied liability and even stated that perhaps Feral Childe copied the design from another source. Once we received that outrageous response, our attorneys filed a lawsuit, currently pending in Federal Court in Los Angeles. We hope that you might show your support for Feral Childe by spreading the word. Tell your friends, or forward, comment, post, retweet the articles below. We thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Alice & Moriah

new summer paintings from Armas Design

2011-07-10T13:51:00.001-05:00

There is so much goodness in this new batch of paintings. I have been inspired by summer time! Grilled peaches and mint juleps and mesquite bbq breezes...obsessed with food much? In any case, I hope you enjoy these paintings full of movement, and painted with love. Some are jubilant exclamations of color! Some are thoughtful and full of light and space. They are meant to be hung in any direction you like, and they look even better in groups.

I would love to show you all my brand-spanking-new studio space, but it is still being gussied up, and would prefer to display only it's sexy pictures. Don't forget to check out the blog for all your voyeuring needs.

If you make it this far down the newsletter, you deserve a treat. Hows about 10% off with coupon code TENFINGERDISCOUNT. Or maybe I just need another julep.

Looking for something specific? Contact me, we can work together to get you just the right look for your home. My latest commission is for a stately family living room. The client wanted a loose composition and bright colors to compliment her navy and slate blue color scheme.

NEW CITIES, NEW STORES!

Sala, Molly Green, and Fisherman's Daughter are

the latest addition to stores where you can find Feral Childe's Spring 2011 Collection.

More to come soon!

It's shaping up to be a very busy season. We've just returned from the Middle East where we were guests of Virginia Commonwealth University's Qatar campus. We spent a week with our wonderful hosts and were inspired by the fashion design students there, and had a lovely trunkshow at Cugini Boutique. We promise, we'll upload some photos soon. We will probably put them on Facebook. . .

This weekend we will both be at the Turtle Trunkshow in Boston. Stop by please! Gifts for the first six shoppers so come early! Then we are back in Brooklyn getting ready for the big move. Come to our studio and shop from past seasons, samples, studio furniture, sewing supplies, fabric, and more. If you're lucky you can get a sneak peak at Fall 2011!

Then it's back to the West Coast for some summertime fun. EcoCitizen is cooking up a great day of events to be announced soon so stay tuned. The Green Gala fashion show features Feral Childe and local designers who have been using the gardens as direct inspiration for pieces for the fashion show. And the last stop for now will be the Summer Solstice Celebration at Swarm with music and art all day into the evening; a full lineup of participants to follow shortly.

It's great to get noticed -- we've had some nice press lately; both online and in print. Check it out at EcoSalon and the online version of TimeOut New York.

That's it for now. Thanks for reading. Not able to make it to events? Email us about those styles you've had your eye on and we will help you locate your nearest retailer. Feel free to ask us questions about sizing or fit. Also, we're seeking a body decoupage assistant!

Permaculture classes in Brooklyn

2010-12-03T10:53:00.001-05:00

MAKE IT YOURSELF!

Who says you need a homestead to practice Permaculture! We'll show you how to live the good life by putting your hands and kitchen to work. We think our bodies deserve the best and as permaculture hedonists believe that what we create with our hands is far superior to anything you can buy on the shelves of any store.

Last year we ran this series of lactoferment classes along with a Handcrafted Beauty series to great success. Many sold out fast with our cap at 10 students for each class. We checked our busy teaching and parenting schedules and set aside some dates to present these learning opportunities once again. Join us for these three fermented foods classes that will increase your vitality as well as your self-sufficiency. Come learn why fermented foods are so incredibly nutritious and how they can fit into your life.

The Handmade Beauty series will take the mystery out of formulating your own safe and cheap beauty necessities suitable for your gender of choice. We will explore a host of different ingredients from ones found in your kitchen cupboard to the more exotic ones found via the internet. This series will now include household cleaners as well. All of these will be great for gift giving!

Start crafting today and share your creations with friends and family!

$30 per class OR $25 if you register for two or more classes!

To register email back at this address dreikycaprice@gmail.com

Lactoferments
Saturday, December 11th
6:00- 8:00-pm $30

This workshop will walk you through making a variety of lactoferments including: kim chee, sauerkraut, ginger-carrots and other root crop lactoferments. Bring 2 wide mouth 1 pint glass mason jars with lids if you would like to take home jars of our finished products. Also bring a good cutting knife and a cutting board and the Beyond Organic vegetables will be almost entirely from our farm.
Handouts of recipes will be provided. IMPORTANT!!! Please register a week in advance so we can insure the correct amount of ingredients. This is sure to fill up fast!

Sourdough Bread
Sunday, December 12th
6:00-8:00pm $30

In this, our second fermented food workshop, we will harvest Brooklyn’s wild yeasts to make bread rise into a fluffy loaf that is truly delicious! We will show you the ins and outs of making and baking sourdough bread so that you can get started with confidence. We will also cover sourdough pancakes. Delicious! Participants should bring a small jar to take home some sourdough starter.

Handcrafting Home Brews
Friday, December 17th
6:00- 8:00 pm $30

This third workshop will cover: malting whole grains for superlative home brew beers and will include sources for organic whole grains; preparing herbal tonics and sacred beers with wild dandelion, yarrow, rosemary and others; culturing wild yeasts. Kombucha preparation will also be covered and kombucha “mothers” will be given away to make at home. Handouts of recipes will be provided.

Handmade Beauty Part 1 and 2
Saturday, December 18th
Part 1 - 2-4pm $30
Sunday, December 19th
Part 2 - 2-4pm $30

In this class we will craft a variety of body care products made from ingredients easily found in your kitchen cabinet or local heath food store. You will expand your knowledge of herbs, save money and feel your beautiful best by making and using your own handmade beauty products. Are you spending wads of cash on eco-household cleaners? Well you can stop! We will be providing recipes and samples for some of the most often used cleaners. Bring 5 or so small containers (washed take out condiment containers work great) so you can take some samples of what we craft home.
It would be great if people could let me know what they are interested in learning how to make. While I would like to cover it all in one class it just takes too much time!

Part 1

For your Face...
Face Cleanser
Face Scrub
Herbal Face Toner
Moisturizer
Tinted Lip Balm

Plus Household Cleaners!

Part 2

For your body...
Herbal Shampoo
Herbal Hair Rinse
Body Scrubs

Please pre-register @ dreikycaprice@gmail.com so we know how many people to expect.

We can and will offer these classes again so please inquire if the dates don't work out for you.

embroidery news from Iviva Olenick

2010-10-24T14:05:00.002-05:00

Dear friends,

This September, I had the pleasure of participating in a one-night exhibit, "Sleeping with Strangers," sponsored by Salon Ciel. I exhibited embroideries from my Were I So Besotted series alongside the black and white photographs of Robert Gerhardt. While the show was fleeting, the experience was recorded in a video, where you can see and hear Robert and I talk about our work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGEoPOtZqHk.

You can also read a review of "Sleeping with Strangers" here: http://gallerycrawl.typepad.com/gallery_crawl/2010/10/recent-fall-shows-in-brief.html. Thanks to James Kao for writing this article, and Salon Ciel for hosting the exhibit.

For those of you in the New York area, my latest installment of the Embroidered Art Journal class at Pratt CCPS in Manhattan is coming up very soon. The Embroidered Art Journal, PMDA-104-02, runs for 5 weeks on Friday evenings from 6:30-9:30 - November 5 - December 10th. $195/ 15 hours of workshop/studio time. This class is perfect for absolute beginners and more experienced embroiderers. With my guidance and input, each student crafts an art book incorporating embroidery and additional media of his/her choice. You can sign up via Pratt's web site, http://my.pratt.edu, or by calling 212-647-7199. I hope to see some of you there! Please feel free to share this information with friends.

Finally, if you live in Brooklyn, you can see my embroidered art work at Muriel Guepin Gallery on Bergen Street near Smith Street, steps away from the F/G to Bergen Street. The address is 47 Bergen Street, and the gallery sits beside the Invisible Dog, an event, performance, and exhibition space.

Thanks to all of you for your ongoing interest in my work.

with love,

Iviva

eco-fashion's night out TONIGHT!

2010-09-10T10:18:00.001-05:00

Dearest friends,

I'm participating in this great event on Friday night as part of NYC's Fashion's Night Out.

I'll be a part of a PANEL DISCUSSION on putting sustainability in fashion into the hands of the consumer (not just the designer), and I'll be selling my NEW FALL COLLECTION plus some spring stuff at clearance prices.

Also there will be workshops, drinks and music, so come on out if you're looking for something both fun and fulfilling to do that night!

Love,
Mociun

September 7, 2010

By now you must know that September 10, 2010 is Fashion's Night Out, when cities around the world will celebrate Fashion in one night full of shopping, celebrity, and debauchery.

Instead of submitting to blind consumerism, entitle yourself to some educated consumerism!

We've teamed up with Ecouterre.com to bring you a night of "Celebrating : Slow" where participants can get in on some Sustainability:

SHOP with local designers (Titania Inglis, Mociun, Wiksten, Shabd, Tara St. James (The Sqaure Project), reMadeUSA, Odette NY, M2)

LEARN from experts in eco-fashion at our Ecouterre-moderated panel on Sustainability (includes Jill Fehrenbacher, Sarah Scaturro, Greta Eagan of FashionMeGreen, Caroline Priebe, Margarita Mileva, Shabd Simon-Alexander, Caitlin Mociun)

PARTICIPATE in free workshops (Hack Sustainable Fashion: what is eco-fashion? create your own fashion manifesto; Bags for the People; altering with Sewing Rebellion; Natural Tie-Dyeing)

DRINK with Kelso of Brooklyn Beer (plus some Trader Joe's wine) and EAT with local food vendors

DANCE with DJ Whistlepunk

Sound like a blast? It's also free (or help us out with a suggested donation of $10)

Click here for the full schedule of events

See you September 10, 6-11PM!

To RSVP please email rsvp@textileartscenter.com

This is a great springtime activity to do with kids!

Please see our most recent blog post at www.brooklyngeneral.com for the Official Contest Rules.

Need some Squirrel Contest inspiration? We made this flirty girl with Ecological Woolfrom Cascade. We were attracted to the 100% Peruvian Highland wool  because of its natural, chemical-free and un-dyed colors.  This soft but durable yarn has beautiful volume and stitch definition. For an all-wool yarn this is so fluffy and soft--perfect for knitting nature.

Rowan's PureLife Organic Wool Naturally Dyedis grown in an environmentally and socially responsible way  from sheep grazed on land free from pesticides and chemical  fertilizers. It is dyed using natural sustainable plant dyes. British Sheep Breeds Undyedis shorn and blended from four classic British sheep  breeds, then spun into five beautiful un-dyed shades with the natural  lanolin content maintained. Two more prefect, natural yarn choices.

We're not the only ones to be  inspired by squirrels and their furry friends--the latest Echino Collectionfeatures squirrels, along with birds, horses, and rabbits in a print that is at once  sweet and classic and bold and modern.

Why not try your hand at a felted squirrel? The shop has a nice selection of fiber, felting tools, and felting books--everything you need to get started.

Whether you sew, knit, crochet or felt your squirrel, we have many books to help you along!

 
Need a little help getting  started? The next Toy Knittingclass begins April 16!

embroidered journal class @ pratt

2010-04-07T10:49:00.003-05:00

wow! this embroidered journaling class looks amazing... here's what iviva has to say about it:

I am excited about my imminent 5-week embroidery workshop at Pratt, The Embroidered Art Journal. I hope some of you will join me, or pass the word on to friends who may be looking for a creative way to spend Wednesdays in April and May. Here are the details:

The Embroidered Art Journal, PMDA-104

5 Wednesdays at Pratt Center for Continuing and Professional Studies

144 West 14th Street, near 7th Avenue

April 21st - May 19th, 6:30-9:30pm

http://www.pratt.edu/academics/continuing_education_and_professional/faculty_and_staff/bio/?id=iolenick

Registration:

http://my.pratt.edu

212-647-7199

After mastering a dozen stitches for decorative and practical use, we will explore a range of methods for interpreting photographs as embroideries, drawing with thread, and transferring images and text onto fabric.

The goal is for each student to embark on a personal project that incorporates embroidery and narrative. Mixed media projects are encouraged.

Previous students have worked on a wide range of pursuits: one is in the process of making a book for her soon-to-be grandchild, another did preparatory work for exhibition pieces for a show. Students experimented with non-traditional materials, like sewing on bubble wrap and other forms of packaging. Some created sculptural "landscapes" by manipulating fabric and thread. Others reinterpreted their own drawings and illustrations using fabric and thread.

The possibilities for this class are endless...

Tuition is $195 for 5 weeks (15 hours of class time). Supplies are minimal - I provide as much as possible, which you can supplement with materials of your choice.

Also coming up this spring is the Affordable Art Fair, May 6-9th...More details to come!

With very best wishes,

not knots

2010-03-02T10:41:00.001-05:00

Dear friends of Cabinet,

Please join us for "Not Knots," a workshop on knots, knitting, and string figures featuring Sabrina Gschwandtner, Philip Ording, and Inoli Murphy.

Date: Saturday, March 6, 2–4 pm
Place: Cabinet, 300 Nevins Street, Brooklyn (directions here)
FREE. No RSVP required
Organized by Sabrina Gschwandtner

This mini-fair is a hands-on exploration of knots, knitting, and string figures. Visitors can view short math films that explore the geometry surrounding knots (including the well-known short Not Knot) and engage in an informal discussion of knot theory with mathematician Philip Ording. Artist Sabrina Gschwandtner will conduct a lab for stalled handcraft projects: bring any knitted, crocheted, sewn, embroidered, or woven undertaking that is in limbo, and receive consultation for moving forward. Inoli Murphy, mathematician and author of Murphy's String Figures: Teaching Math with String Figures, will demonstrate and discuss the ancient art of string figures.

Pretzel knots and wine will be served.

film still from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Pali Kashi

Charlie Horse Gallery presents:

Time Tunnel

Curated by Pali Kashi

Mira Billotte John Brattin Eric Copeland Jeff Davis Spencer Herbst

Pali Kashi James Kendi Adam Marnie Keith McCulloch Rich Porter

Leif Ritchey Arik Roper Francine Spiegel Ruby Sky Stiler

The Large Hadron Collider is the world's largest and highest energy particle accelerator, and lies in a tunnel 175 meters beneath the Franco-Swiss border. Physicists hope that the LHC will help answer the most fundamental questions in physics, concerning the basic laws governing the deep structure of space and time.
--Brian Greene reporting for The New York Times

"Time Tunnel" proposes a collision of art-making traditions with the uncertainty of time and space. The collective unconscious is infused with ritual and mysticism, and has become dislodged and reinterpreted. The reformed amalgam of paint, wax, clay, sand, and plaster that is presented here are artifacts of this convergence. Totem poles are now made of monster masks, images of prairie women have paint splattered on them, Roman relics are fractured, sand mandalas are blurred, and our spirit animals have been unleashed into the wild.

Mira Billotte is an artist and musician (White Magic) interested in the "Music of the Spheres"; the belief that the planets of the solar system and stars beyond each create a tone in perfect harmony. Mira's installations and sand mandalas reference transcendental rituals practiced throughout time. John Brattin is a multi-media artist who uses sculpture, drawing, and painting to further inform his personal stories and myths which are eventually made into short films. He is currently working on a western. Eric Copeland's collages are visual remnants of his pondering of the moon, phallices, faces, and piles of trash. His abstracted compositions use repetition and disjunction much like the music he is known for making. Jeff Davis's two-dimensional work usually takes on "mysteriously ceremonial and often orgiastic configurations". His totem-like structures are made from casting rubber halloween masks with multi-colored wax. Spencer Herbst's dadaist videos are a microscopic look into our everyday surroundings. His magnification of objects strewn about his apartment, salt crystals lying on a countertop, and wood grain in the floorboards are examined so closely that they take on an other-worldly reality. Pali Kashi's work presents the natural world through the power symbol of the triangle, which grants the viewer a new kind of portal into frozen moments of time. James Kendi's photographic process begins with asking people what their spirit animal is. He then creates a mask of that animal and photographs his subjects wearing the mask in the animal's natural environment. Adam Marnie is a mixed media artist interested in the sculptural presentation of images. By splicing traditional still life painting with pornography, he can sharply pierce us with flashes of flesh where we are expecting to see stems and roses. Keith McCulloch's watercolors meander through a maze-like interior filled with strange yet familiar apparitions. Rich Porter depicts an array of primordial figures, focusing on the unseen molecular network between our bodies and landscape. Leif Ritchey is an archaeologist of the sublime accumulations of his everyday surroundings. The objects he extracts from puddles near a sewer or broken glass hidden under a bush are taken back to his studio to be corralled into his futuristic vision. Arik Roper's work depicts a fantastical reality filled with mythical warriors, smoky terrain, and decaying skulls. His paintings breathe life into our uncharted history. Ruby Sky Stiler rummages the storage cellar of historical artifacts to incorporate classic iconography into the context of her own relics. Her fragmented reliefs of ancient Greek and Roman imagery question the potency of sculpting the human form. Francine Spiegel's performance, The Curse of the Century Old Egg, which took place at Deitch Projects this last fall, was a literal mish-mosh of the past and present. The eerie happening gathered six women together in a curious ritual of transformation. The repetition of slime-dumping and paint-slinging turned these prairie-esque women, in ruffled regalia, into monstrous beasts over the course of an hour.

Time Tunnel will be on display from March 5, 2010 - March 17, 2010
Opening reception will be from 7-9 pm on Friday, March 5, 2010

hi everyone,

i'd like to offer a framing class/workshop in my studio, and i'm looking for someone to teach it.

i'm thinking the class would include: cutting and assembling a wood frame, cutting mat and backing, securing the back, and attaching a hanger. framing is so expensive and i've always wanted to learn how to do it myself! please email me if you know anyone who might be interested.

thanks!

2010-02-01T18:09:00.003-05:00

Hi everyone.
So this is the other show that I curated that opens up this coming Wednesday evening. Krit is still really young but already has his own "thing" and is doing something exciting. You can also check out a video that shows him in his studio last year at RISD that Dell Computers made - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfGO89-RaJo

He's going to be doing a performance at some point during the opening. I hope you can come by and see it, me, Dave........

Wednesday between 6 am 8pm!!!
Love Hanna
(If you've never been to this space before, make sure not to mistake our "little west 12th street" with the regular "west 12th street" because they are not the same.)

hpgrp gallery NY presents "X.O.TRIANGLE.SQUARE" by Korakrit Arunanondchai;
a show curated by Hanna Fushihara Aron.

February 3rd, 2010 – February 27th
Opening reception – Wednesday, February 3rd from 6 to 8pm

Although "X.O.TRIANGLE.SQUARE" refers to the buttons on a Sony PlayStation
video game controller, the shapes themselves are the most basic abstract
forms used in the past and present as building blocks for creative,
industrious, and even spiritual invention. Korakrit Arunanondchai believes
in the mythic power of these forms and they are often found as focal points
in his work, but he uses his own vocabulary of abstracted shapes as the
cells to his psychedelic, celestial world. Having been raised in Thailand,
Arunanondchai grew up amongst ornate Buddhist temples. His fluid shapes
remind one of their decorative murals but also of Sanskrit or Pali that make
up his native Thai written language. His work evokes the feeling of a
connection between visible and invisible worlds and brings the viewer to a
kind of ceremonial experience with his large and enveloping pieces.

In contrast, Arunanondchai has also been influenced by his love of Japanese
Manga and video game culture. This is evident in the bright colors he
chooses to use as well as the rapid movement frozen in time on canvas or
paper instead of on a television screen. The silk screening process that he
uses also parallels these inspirations in that it creates a flat surface and
removes evidence of the use of hand in their making. The creation of
multiple layers by breaking down the overall image is yet another way for
Korakrit to abstract information and invents a whole new universe.

Korakrit Arunanondchai is a recent graduate of the Rhode Island School of
Design’s Printmaking Department and has worked for both Ryan McGinness
and Rirkrit Tiravanija. He has also worked with Dell Computers on
several Dell Design Studio notebook patterns and has been a featured artist
in the Dell Lounge with accompanying artist’s video which is available for
viewing online. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Hanna Fushihara Aron is an independent curator and former owner of Little
Cakes Gallery in NYC. She has been featured in publications such as The New
York Times, Tokion, Paper Magazine, The Journal, and many others.
