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!

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.)

I wrote a day too soon! Dick Baker, Director of Development and Communications, just left a comment below that the catalog is available. I downloaded it, and it’s beautiful with lots of color photography. These two beading workshops are towards the bottom under special topics. Ellsworth is teaching 3-D Beading: Vessels, Baskets, and Sea Forms. Meinhardt is teaching Art Sticks — Right Angle Beadweaving.

I received an email this morning that registration was open for Split Rock, sessions held on campus at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, or the Cloquet Forestry Center south of Duluth, MN. I have taken classes from Joyce Scott and David Chatt through Split Rock (in their former location at the University of Minnesota campus in Duluth), and it was an awesome time, and a great value. No beading this year (perhaps none in the last three or so years), but I continue to be hopeful that there will be another. Virginia Blakelock and Carol Perronoud have taught here as well. Browse the listings if you’d like, see if something appeals — I see 3D shibori, art quilts, and Navajo weaving in the textile listings.
