Hello Everyone!

Hope you are having a wonderful November! To celebrate Thanksgiving this year, we will be making a creative centerpiece hosted by our beloved tactile art expert, Ann Cunningham <https://acunningham.com/> ! This centerpiece can be either made of paper mache or a variety of household items. Our meeting will be a perfect time to celebrate what we are grateful for, experiment with new mediums, and make a gift for a loved one/ beautiful household decoration. 

Join us via zoom on Tuesday, Nov 16 (5pm MT to 6pm MT). Zoom link for the meeting and the materials needed for the project are included in the email.

On the note of Thanksgiving, I also just want to affirm how thankful I am for you all. Over the last couple years, each one of you has made me feel part of such a kind, artistic, and accepting community. It has been an absolute joy to get to know you all, learn from you, and share my interests with others. I can’t wait to continue watching this club flourish, and I appreciate you all so much! 

I also wanted to share information about the Shared Visions: Tactile Art Exhibition <https://www.arapahoe.edu/blog/shared-visions-tactile-art-exhibition> .The exhibition is at the Colorado Gallery of the Arts <https://www.arapahoe.edu/campus-community/art-galleries>  and runs November 8-17. The opening reception is Thursday, November 11 from 5-7pm and the closing reception is Thursday, November 18 from 5-7pm.

Ann Cunningham <https://acunningham.com/>  has been working with students from the Colorado Center for the Blind (CCB) <https://cocenter.org/>  creating ceramic tiles and sculpture which will be on display. Students from both Arapahoe Community College (ACC) <https://www.arapahoe.edu/blog/shared-visions-tactile-art-exhibition>  and the CCB <https://cocenter.org/>  will be present at the show’s opening and are excited for the public to experience their interactive works. You will get to explore a variety of art including installations, ceramics and mixed media. This multi-sensory exhibition includes sight, sounds and touch.

Hope to see you at the Tactile Art Club meeting on Nov 16th at 5pm MT. Tactile Art Club is a great way to explore your creativity, express yourself and meet new people in addition to exploring a new art form each month. Get excited and come join the fun!

I can’t wait to create with all of you.

Warm regards,

Rishika

Materials for the Project:
Option 1 - Paper Mache
1. 1/2” to 1” strips of newspaper and/or Paper Towels and/or Colored tissue paper

2. Flour

3. Water

4. Small balloons and/or Tape

Or Option 2: 
You can gather actual Gourds, Apples and fall leaves to assemble a colorful centerpiece.

When you collect the leaves, let them curl naturally or you can flatten them by pressing them between sheets of paper and weighted down with books.  If the leaves are very wet. Change the paper while they dry.

Instructions for making the paper mache paste

Combine 1 part flour and 2 parts water in a large bowl and stir it well until lumps are gone and the mixture is thin with a consistency similar to pancake batter.

The paper mache paste can be used immediately or stored in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for a few days.
