Program Description   Join fibers artist Cathy McBride as she creates pieces of textile arts and fabric design inspired by her world travels, cultural influences, and artistic vision. Cathy will share images and experiences that inspired her work, show textile arts and fiber crafts she recently created, and demonstrate the process she uses to execute her pieces. Students will be able to interact as the demonstration proceeds, ask their questions about how the dying process works and how the design is created, and see the final piece created. Students will also have the opportunity to share examples of fiber and textile pieces they have created and share the experience of their artistic process with Cathy. We’ll explore the big questions: Where do ideas for art come from? How is inspiration transformed into a piece of art? How are fibers used to create works of art? What techniques are available for the fibers and textile artist? Ask your additional questions as you watch Cathy at work. Cost for the program is FREE.
