[Nfb-krafters-korner] Edie Eckmen Workshops

[River Woman]

Annette, that would be so nice to actually meet in person. Maybe that will 
happen one of these days.
For anyone here, if you are anywhere near western PA, you might be able to 
make it to an upcoming show that I will be having with another blind artist.
Suzanne Gibson is a painter who has Stargardts, and I am a fiber artist and 
pottery and I have Ischemic Optic Neuropathy. We both have lost most of our 
vision.
But, we are putting together a two person show that will open next March 7th 
at Merrick Art Gallery in New Brighton, PA.  The show is called Vision and 
Revision, and it will have braille labeling right with the well texts so 
that it is blind friendly. It will also have a video of us working on our 
art, using an Acrobat CCTV, and non-visually.  The show will travel to SIX 
locations over a two year period. We have now scheduled THREE of them, and 
will be scheduling the other three in the months ahead. It is a ton of work 
to create and manage a show like this, but I think it will be well worth our 
efforts when it is finally a reality.

>> Hi All,
>>

>>
>> I am excited about 2 workshops I am signed up for at my local yarn shop.
>> Later this month Edie Eckmen is doing a book signing and teaching 4
>> classes.
>> I am going to go to the book signing and I am signed up for a class on
>> joining crocheted pieces and the second class is called "Unknitting". 
>> The
>> Unknitting class is all about the technical aspect of knitted stitches 
>> and
>> how they work together to create the final fabric.  I am excited about
>> learning from these classes, and I am hoping that there is not an issue
>> about my being blind.  I've only taken one other knitting class and it 
>> was
>> at this same yarn shop.  That class went well, so there is no reason for
>> me
>> to think that this one will not.  I will keep you posted.
>>
>>
>>
>> Well there is homework for one of the classes, so I'd better get off of
>> this
>> computer and get to crocheting the 12 required swatches.  I have 4 done
>> thus
