This month, we are meeting on ZOOM at 12:30 pm, Tuesday, November 9, 2021. The speaker will be Maude Anne May, Encaustic and Fiber Collage Artist. “I am a collage artist layering images and utilizing two dissimilar mediums: encaustic and fabric. Telling visual stories, I combine discarded family pix, snapshots, iphone pix, photographic transfers, collected fabrics, papers, my own previously created encaustic works on linen, creating both simple and complex fabric collages. I use a sewing machine and handstitch. I strive to move the viewer towards discovering and honoring the mysteries of the people, ideas, places and possessions that were once deemed as precious and have now been left behind.”

Although meetings are normally held on the second Tuesdays of the months September through June at the Lyndon House Arts Center, 211 Hoyt St., Athens, GA and feature programs about the fiber arts.  Members are sent email invitations to join the meetings.
