Checking out the "eats"
We settled down to business and Sandra began her critiques. To begin with, she has an natural approach to making artists feel safe, comfortable and supported, so much so that she makes a point of noting what is particularly positive about the artwork from the get-go. With that said, her critiques are based on her expertise, extensive art background and long career of jurying and curating works (since 1998). We were extremely fortunate today to have Sandra critique five pieces and each artist as well as the members attending all gained tremendously from her comments.

Following the presentation of our individual work, I spoke more about the upcoming exhibition Fiber Celebration at the Chappaqua Library. The enthusiasm for this exhibition is palpable and it looks like will have quite a beautiful collection of small works for the show. We discussed meeting times and everyone unanimously agreed that we would like to meet every three months. The next meeting date will be sent in the coming weeks. Possible future plans include a group challenge and other topics to be discussed at our next meeting. Lisa Chipetine, President of SAQA, spoke about all of the opportunities available for learning on line through SAQA. Many of us didn't even know SAQA has a You-tube channel.
Just click on the link above and it will take you directly to it. Lisa let us know that if we have our own art related videos, tutorials etc, we can now put them on the SAQA You tube channel if we are members of SAQA. Contact Lisa directly if you are interested in more information about this.
Finally, I thought I would share some of the comments folks jotted down before leaving to give you a feel from the day:
"This was fabulous, it is a wonderful way to connect names, faces and work. I look forward the next meeting and I am not a "meeting" person.
"It was a wonderful informative meeting. Great to gather and see other members of SAQA and their work"
"I enjoyed the structure, the combination of critique and presentation of members artwork"
"Today was a good day to find out what is happening in SAQA in our region"
"Sharing concepts, techniques and work is perfect"
"Fun and educational meeting"
