"Daisy wonders if there is life outside this space ship." by Agnes Oberth

We are having our next (rescheduled) Silk Dye Painters of Atlanta & Beyond meeting at the home studio of Agnes Oberth on July 23 Saturday in Acworth, GA. Agnes Oberth is a painter and fiber artist who has worked in needlework, art quilts, portrait painting, yarn and cotton dyeing and more. She currently works with silk dye painting and has been experimenting with various materials and techniques. She paints her "Daisy" series of a young woman in domestic settings highlighted with patterns on walls and floors, and her mood filled "Jazz Singer" series. Come see how Agnes works, and afterwards for those who are interested, we will sit down and add dye to our "mandala" flags for the Silk Painters International Festival conference in October at Arrowmont, in Gatlinburg, TN. Newcomers are welcome to paint. No skills needed. You MUST rsvp to hellenne@live.com to receive the address in Acworth and instructions for parking.

New Silk Painters Meeting April 9 Saturday

It's another Silk Painters of Atlanta meeting, open to anyone interested in silk dye painting. We will be deciding on a design for our Georgia Chapter Goodwill Flags to be displayed at the next Silk Conference being held in October at Arrowmont, in Gatlinburg TN. http://www.silkpainters.org/festival.php

After a quick business meeting and a request for contributing $3 each for room rental fee, we will decide on the design for our 17"x17" silk flags.

I will bring Resistad and we will go ahead and apply resist to the silk. If we have time, we will dry and heat set the resist and start applying the dyes.

Please RSVP to me at hellenne@live.com if you will be attending so I will know how many supplies I need to bring. This will be a good opportunity for those who have never tried using resist or even painted on silk to experience this process. No experience necessary.
