For those of you in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, Diane is the featured author at an author bag lunch at the Minnesota Textile Center on February 23rd, noon to 1pm. Her most recent book is Shaped Beadwork: dimensional jewelry with peyote stitch. I should be able to attend; I’ll bring my copy and have her sign it!

Anyone going to be in Laramie, Wyoming tomorrow and Friday?? I just saw on Gwen’s blog that she’s presenting at Wyoming Mathematics, Statistics and Science, Articulation Conference at the Laramie County Community College. The title is “When a Mathematician Weaves Beads,” using art in the math classroom. I’d love to be there!
Bob Haven has introduced himself in the comments of a couple previous posts on tambour beading (here and here); he is a costume technologist at the University of Kentucky. He alerted me that he’s posted a video with good closeups of the technique:
Check out Bob’s YouTube channel to see other uploads, which at this time are samples of his work.

Sievers is a visual arts and crafts school in absolutely beautiful Door County, Wisconsin. Their summer class listings are out: Diane Fitzgerald is a regular teacher there, and will be teaching her Tuareg Beaded Pendant August 2nd-7th, and Stars Necklace/Temari Balls August 7th-9th. Karen Buell is teaching bead embroidery June 14th-17th, as well as a mixed media class. And there are many other fine craft classes that are very appealing as well.

Split Rock Arts, here in Minneapolis and a few in a secondary location in northern Minnesota, does not have any beading classes this year. Their preview is also available. I am admittedly myopic to beading, but there’s Modern Needle Felting: Techniques, Materials, and Forms with Briony Jean Foy at the northern Minnesota location June 20th-25th AND A Feltmaker’s Bag of Tricks: Exploring Hand-Felting Processes with Jorie Johnson June 27th-July 3rd in Minneapolis. You could do two straight weeks of intensive felting! There is another session on knitting, one on fabric collage, and and another on Korean patchwork and papermaking. (And writing, photography, etc.)
