Bobbie's News
Hello Friends,
Make a note of it! Dec. meeting is one week early
.
..And, we'll again feature a fun gift exchange after the meeting. To participate (it's optional), just bring your wrapped "made by you" gift to the meeting. Also, please add your name inside the gift so the recipient knows who it is from!
Hope to see some of you at the
Kay Khan workshop
, to play with fabric, stitching, rearranging, collaging, deconstructing, quilting and learning new techniques to make your unique piece of wearable art. Still a spot or two, just for you!
Last month, PaperWorks members enjoyed a tour of public art in Oro Valley, where we saw an inspiring collection of artwork, large and small, scattered throughout the town. Oro Valley offers these free tours all year long. An interactive map is on its website.

Didn’t you love hearing from our 2
Pima scholarship students, Maegan McCarthy and Mae Huajilla
, at our Oct. meeting? I was able to attend the Donors and Scholars lunch at the University of Arizona School of Art, and to visit with
Stephanie Burchett
,
one of PW’s May scholarship winners. I was impressed with the passion, creativity and work these scholars exhibit, and how much the money and recognition means to them. PaperWorks members can be proud in supporting the artistic and academic life of these students!
And I just attended the reopening of the Tucson Museum of Art, which has expanded and been reconfigured. The new show, “Dress Matters, Clothing as Metaphor” is wonderful! I urge you all to see it and be inspired. In the expanded gift shop, I saw beautiful scarves eco-dyed by PW member
Aimee Smith
, and wonderful mixed media “dresses’’ by Roxanne Rossi. And fyi, the
Tucson Museum of Art offers FREE FIRST THURSDAY, every month, from 5-8pm.
These creative connections bring joy to my life, and I hope that is what PaperWorks means to you. Besides the classes and workshops and wonderful programs we offer, it's creative connections with one another that inspire us all!
More connections: Thanks to donors of art supplies and clothing and to volunteer art teachers at the
Sister Jose Center
Friday afternoons. Still needed: teachers for Dec. 2017 and Jan. 2018. Contact
ruthieneilan@comcast.net
with Sister Jose in subject line. Save the date! Sister Jose will host a fundraiser Feb. 11, 2018 - details soon.
Art supplies for the center may be brought to PW meetings this year.
Take a look at our PW webpage,
www.paperworks.info
, and remember to
send in a few pics of your work for our Members Gallery
to Anne Lucic. You belong there too.
