Students will learn the basic language and structures of textile design using tracing paper, cut out stencils and textile inks to explore shape, color and pattern designs on fabric. The method of printing, of layering colorful shapes with textile inks is improvisational.  It is a meaningful way to explore the possibilities of pattern design using shape and color.

"Whether walking in a garden, planting your own, receiving them from friends or lovers, viewing delicious Renaissance flower paintings or walking through the flower market in DTLA, flowers bring joy and happiness to our internal and external worlds. Flowers are symbols of strength, longevity, grace, balance and abundance. We need more flowers right now. I want to fill the Shoebox Projects space with flowers." Kristine Schomaker, Curator

Studio 203 presents a solo exhibition featuring improvisational patchwork and other freestyle fiber artworks by Los Angeles-based artist Jamia Weir.

This ensemble exhibition is a jubilant celebration of the rich language of textile art. The twelve artists in this show maneuver fabric, fibers, and thread into objects and structures that rollick, swaddle, sag, and by any means necessary, call attention to the actuality of the material world. Whether woven, twisted, stitched, wrapped, or appliqued the works engender speculations on time, myth, and sensuality. They reframe, cancel, and blur historical implications of cloth with lavish physicality.

Explore tactile possibilities with a variety of fibers, yarns and simple weave structures. Create several textures and weave your favorites in a scarf, table runner, or wall hanging. Taught by Cameron Taylor-Brown on Wolf Pup floor looms in her fully equipped Los Angeles weaving studio.

The 5th annual Holly Jolly small works show. Most of the work is deeply discounted for the benefit of Roswell Space. This it is a perfect opportunity for an amazing gift or to expand your personal collection. We look forward to seeing you this weekend! All artwork affordably priced at $150 each including tax
