This workshop is an invitation to play with materials on hand, and we will discover what amazing works can be created with things we might otherwise toss. Composing in a limited space has many creative advantages for both experienced and new art-makers. It can help break through creative blocks and stimulate new ideas, all without performance anxiety or a major investment of time and money.
Using a variety of fabrics, yarns, threads, papers, and embellishments, you will cut, fold, layer, glue, stitch, mark, and embellish to ultimately create an abstract composition. Your composition will fit inside a 5 x 7 Strathmore photo frame card, and at the end of the workshop you will leave with two cards that may be further elaborated at home.
Mirka Knaster creates 2-D and 3-D fiber art in her studio overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Sonoma coast. She works with old and new textiles and handmade paper from Asia, dyes used cloth with indigo and rust and incorporates design samples that would otherwise enter a landfill. With degrees in three cross-cultural fields, she has found inspiration around the world and in her local environment. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is in private collections across the U.S. She has taught a variety of classes in Northern California, Chicago, and Korea. She was one of the founders of Korea Textile Tours and curated several exhibits of Korean fiber artists. A former board member of the Textile Arts Council, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and chairperson of the tours and workshops committee, she organized fiber art events in the Greater Bay Area.
