New Workshop Announcement

Robbin and I are pleased to announce our first workshop of the new year, Soulful Doors with jewelry and fiber artist Ruth Rae. On Saturday, February 21 Ruth will join us In The Artists Studio to teach this one day workshop.

Ruth Rae is a classically trained jeweler and instructor. During Ruth’s tenure as a metal smith she began to experiment with other forms of media and techniques. As time has progressed Ruth’s true passion has become “mixed media fiber art.” Ruth’s pieces are internationally recognized for their unexpected yet elegant combinations of altered fabrics, vintage lace and antique papers that find themselves intertwined with transparencies, found objects and words that are bound together by hand and machine stitching. Ruth enjoys sharing her creative process in her contributions to Cloth Paper Scissors, Belle Armoire Jewelry, Somerset Studio and Artful Blogging. Ruth is currently working on her next book about mixed media fabric art that will be released in 2009.

You can get all the info here In The Artists Studio.
