SUMMARY:Monotype Printmaking Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to plan\, design\, create\, and print a monotype! Use new materials and learn a variety of techniques to create your desired image\, then watch the magic of the printing press take place as you pull your print through. \nMonotype is a process of printmaking created by drawing or painting on a matrix (plexiglass or other smooth surface) which is then printed using an intaglio press to create a single (mono) print. It is a unique type of printmaking as it’s the only form that creates a single image instead of a full edition of the same print. This form of printmaking is great for folks who like to paint or draw and are interested in trying out a new medium! \nAll materials will be supplied\, no experience necessary. \nTo ensure willing participants have access to arts opportunities\, please email Ahmri at info@otherwisestudios.com if you face financial barriers. Space permitting\, we can provide complimentary admission.

SUMMARY:Paula Nadelstern speaks at Royal City Quilters Guild
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Meeting\n\n\nSymmetry & Surprise: The Kaleidoscope as Design Inspiration\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKALEIDOSCOPE – the very word promises surprise and magic\, change and chance. Exploding with visual excitement\, a kaleidoscopic design organizes an abundance of color and shape into a complex\, coherent and unique whole. This slide lecture traces my evolving quilt series in which the multifaceted\, luminous and random nature of a kaleidoscope is explored on a quilt’s flat surface. \nPaula’s Bio\nPaula’s quilts have achieved international recognition for the innovative and complex designs inspired by the bilateral symmetry of kaleidoscopic images. Honored by inclusion in the Twentieth Century’s 100 Best American Quilts\, her designs have inspired products including the vast carpet in the Hilton Americas hotel in Houston\, TX and were showcased in the American Folk Art Museum’s first one person exhibition highlighting the work of a contemporary quilt artist (2009). \nPaula’s website: https://www.paulanadelstern.com/ \nVisit https://rcqg.square.site to purchase a $10 guest pass.

SUMMARY:Intuitive Weaving
DESCRIPTION:During the darker winter days\, it’s nice to have a meditative art practice to turn to to help you relax and practice mindfulness. Weaving can have a tangible outcome (like a wall hanging or placemat)\, or be purely for relaxation and play – without the pressure of outcomes. Either way\, it becomes a transcript of your mood and imagination. \nIn this 2 hour class\, we will learn the basics of weaving with little to no financial investment. Using a cardboard loom that we make ourselves and the provided materials\, we will go over basic weaving techniques. \nWe will let the materials guide us and see where they take us. Our intuition will lead us while we slow down our thoughts and enjoy the creative process. No prior weaving experience necessary!

SUMMARY:The Weight of Stains\, The Wait of Time | Stephanie Fortin
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of Stephanie Fortin’s practice is an ethical inquiry: is it necessary—or responsible—to aestheticize waste in the context of global exploitation and climate change? Engaging with forms and sites at the fringes of development—from the trees of urban forests to the industrial ruins of salvage yards—she examines how their surfaces reveal the entanglement of human activity and ecological systems. During the summer of 2024\, Fortin developed her approach in situ at a wrecking yard\, “recovering” rusted car hoods through a distinctive transfer process. Working with discarded vehicles\, she placed reclaimed silk over the corroded metal\, applying acetic acid. As the reaction unfolded overnight\, rust—acting as both residue and pigment—was lifted onto the textile. \nAiming beyond documentation\, Fortin’s materials engage with time\, climate\, and intervention\, exposing the socio-political histories embedded within them. The resulting images bear traces of decay and transformation\, making visible the residues of extraction and consumption. Throughout her work\, materiality\, pigment\, and process converge to confront the affective potential of such material encounters\, drawing attention to the subconscious and visceral responses they evoke. In doing so\, she challenges viewers to reconsider how spaces and objects deemed obsolete continue to shape both the present and future. \nClick here for more info.

SUMMARY:Wallflower Paintings by Corine van Hoeve
DESCRIPTION:Based in Dundas\, Ontario\, Corine began actively drawing and painting in mid-career after taking courses at the Dundas Valley School of Art (DVSA). Having previously obtained degrees from the University of Guelph\, Western University\, and University of Toronto\, she has\, at different times\, worked in finance and education as well as project management. When not out painting or sketching from life or en plein air\, Corine works from her studio at the Cotton Factory in Hamilton\, Ontario. \nInstagram: @cvanhoeve\nWebsite: cvanhoeve.ca\nEmail: cvanhoeve@gmail.com \nWhile artwork is made to be viewed and commented upon\, a ‘wallflower’ is\, by definition\, the opposite. It describes an individual who\, though present at parties and gatherings\, actively avoids direct connection with others. My paintings embody this duality: encouraging people to look while at the same time not necessarily returning the gaze. On another level\, they are studies in observation\, perhaps a little like a wallflower might carefully scrutinize who’s the life of the party from the corner of the room. I analyze value\, colour and form in terms of scale and composition\, seeking to create some kind of balance and harmony to ease the discomfort of being seen. \nApril 21 – May 21\, 2025 \nArtist Reception: May 3rd\, 2-4pm \n3rd Floor Gallery Wyndham Art Supplies 125 Wyndham St N\, Guelph ON \nGallery Hours: M-F 3-5pm\, Sat 12-5 \nFor more info click here.

SUMMARY:Lilo Bowman speaks at Royal City Quilters Guild
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Meeting\n\n\nSmall Spaces\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDon’t let the small size of your space keep you from having hours of fun; it’s about learning how to prioritize. Let me show you some creative ways to utilize every square inch of your playground. Lilo Bowman\, the author of “Love Your Creative Space”\, will share some ideas for making the best use of your space. \nLilo’s Bio\nLilo Bowman has worked as a floral designer\, translator\, tour guide\, wedding planner\, and is now editor-in-chief of TheQuiltShow.com. Her work has been varied\, often challenging\, but always creative. Since early childhood\, she has been instilled with the desire for and love of doing something with your hands\, learned by observing the varied and beautiful items crafted by both of her grandmothers. Raised in a German culture\, Lilo was always keenly aware of and fascinated with objects (whether utilitarian or decorative) that were attractively displayed while still being orderly. \nFood\, travel (both as a military wife and tourist)\, and curiosity about other cultures have also played a large role in shaping Lilo’s sense of taste and design and her understanding of how others prioritize the items they choose to have in their homes. Being surrounded by strong\, independent\, and civic-minded female role models has instilled a sense of “you can do this” and “consider others” along the way. \nWhen not working\, Lilo travels\, gardens\, works on DIY projects with a ragtag bunch of rescue pets nearby\, and spends time with her extended\, loud\, noisy\, always food- and travel-talking family. \nLilo’s website: https://www.lilobowman.com/ \nVisit https://rcqg.square.site to purchase a $10 guest pass.
