SUMMARY:Let's start at the beginning... a little felt and a little spinning!
DESCRIPTION:We have been using and manipulating fibers for millennia\, at least 100\,000 years and probably a lot longer.  Unfortunately\, this organic material doesn’t survive BUT just because we don’t see evidence of it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist or wasn’t used. I will introduce you to felt and to spinning yarn on a spindle and a spinning wheel. While I am spinning\, we can discuss the history of fiber\, felt and twisted cordage. We can also touch on the importance of these technological innovations to our artistic lives today and in the future. \nAbout the Presenter\, Helen Dewolf (in her own words) \n \nI am a tapestry weaver and fiber artist. My undergrad was in Fine Arts from the University of Waterloo\, Waterloo\, Ontario in 1977. After working as a fiber artist for a few years (as well as other occupations) I came to grad school at TAMU in Anthropology/Nautical Archaeology in 1987 and graduated with a PhD in 1995. I was employed in the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation in the Conservation Research Lab illustrating archaeological artifacts for publications and conserving artifacts. I retired as chief conservator in 2020. \nDuring the intervening years\, I have been weaving tapestries and producing fiber art pieces. I belong to the Brazos Spinners & Weavers Guild (BSWG) and INTERSECTIONS Textile Learning Center & Gallery (ITLC). As a member of both BSWG and ITLC\, I have promoted the textile and fibers arts in this area for about 20 years. \nVisit Our Artists Webpage to see more of her work!  Note: All VAS members can get their own page – just fill out the FORM! \nDoors open at DEGALLERY at 5:30pm for our October meeting.  There will be light refreshments.  Come by\, chat and catch up!

SUMMARY:Old School Rules! The Magic of Silver Gelatin Prints
DESCRIPTION:Old School Rules! The Magic of Silver Gelatin Prints \nIf asked to name some famous artists who used photography as their medium\, what names come to mind? Ansel Adams? Edward Weston? Henri Cartier Bresson? Imogene Cunningham? Dorothea Lange? Margaret Bourke-White? These are all giants in the field who have their photographs in major art museums and private collections. All of them captured “decisive moments” and masterful images using technology and equipment that by today’s standards seems archaic\, or even primitive. Or is it? For many commercial photographers\, advanced digital cameras and powerful image-editing software are “must-haves\,” but many artistic photographers are still using film cameras to capture their images\, and even still printing in traditional “wet” darkrooms! Why? Come hear one photographer describe this mysterious and arcane process from start to finish; and discuss some of the advantages and trade-offs for doing things “the old-fashioned way.” \nAbout the Presenter\, Joel Kitchens (in this own words): \nAlthough I was born in Birmingham\, and grew up in small towns around northern Alabama\, I have lived in Texas since 1997\, and was on the faculty of Texas A&M University for nearly 25 years before retiring. \nAs a photographer\, I am largely self-taught. I did take an art photography class in college that taught the basics of black and white film photography (no digital in those days!). Today\, my photographic process remains traditional and purposely retro; from capturing images on black and white films in sizes from 35mm and 2 ¼ x 2 ¼\, to 4×5 inches (my favorite!)\, developing the film in a wet darkroom\, to printing the images on silver gelatin papers from the enlarged negatives. Each print is hand processed according to the Ilford archival sequence\, toned in selenium\, and mounted using acid-free materials for longevity. \nMy photography reflects a wide range of interests\, including historic sacred architecture\, landscapes and nature\, abstracts\, and still life. With my photographs\, I try to attract viewers’ interest by revealing the “spirit of place\,” as well as the interplay of light and shadow. I also try to show through my images that beauty\, serenity\, and tranquility are to be found all around us. In doing so\, my purpose is to highlight overlooked details\, pique viewers’ curiosity\, and encourage them to see and experience familiar places anew. \nVisit Our Artists Webpage to see more of his work!  Note: All VAS members can get their own page – just fill out the FORM! \nDoors open at DEGALLERY at 5:30pm for our first meeting of the fall.  There will be light refreshments.  Come by\, chat and catch up!

SUMMARY:The Business of Art
DESCRIPTION:You have art you want to sell. Lots of it. Now what? There is more to running your own art business than creating art. Attend our February meeting and hear esteemed artist Charles Wallis share his expertise on the business of art. \nCharles Wallis is a master painter who currently is creating modern impressionist art. He is a graduate of the Baylor University fine art program. After college he opened a graphic design studio beginning his career as a professional artist. His paintings reflect mastery of his craft and versatility in a variety of styles and media. He paints in a variety of styles including traditional realistic\, as well as impressionistic\, abstract and non objective. His works have shown in the TVAA Gallery\, Dallas; Cultivate 7Twelve\, Waco;  Adobe Western Art\, Ft. Worth; Kissing Tree Vineyards Tasting Room\, Eddy;  and The Frame Gallery\, Bryan TX.\n\nARTISTS STATEMENT:  The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure to others. My art is the expression of my spirit to the spirit of others that connect with it.  I seek to create a memory\, a wish\, a fantasy or moment of joy or peace in the soul of the viewer.  I pursue Ideas\, color combinations or images that attract my attention in the abstract;  or as an impression; and some paintings are just for the fun of presenting something in an unusual style.

SUMMARY:General Member Meeting Followed by "Capturing a Moment" with June Russell
DESCRIPTION:This is our annual General Member meeting to vote on proposed slate of new officers for the board of directors. It is important to attend to learn more about our new board and current information about VAS. \nOur May meeting features photographer\, June Russell. As a nature photographer\, June uses her chosen medium as a way to share what she experiences when out in nature.  “By remaining true to the colors and forms I find in nature\, I represent the almost ineffable beauty that surrounds me. A photographer captures a moment so you’re always looking for something special.” \n \nJune hasbeen a fine art photographer for over twenty-five years and has had 5 solo exhibitions and been in numerous group shows. Russell has made presentations to art groups in Texas and Colorado and her work is included in collections around the country. The majority of her work is inspired by nature and often focuses on making abstract images from very close-up photography. June is also creating a totally different body of work based on light patterns and called Visible Frequencies. She is currently serving on the board of directors for Women in the Visual and Literary Arts (WIVLA) for the fifth time. \nOur meeting begins with a 30 minute social time followed by the presentation. The public is invited! \n  \nNo admission fee \n11:30am-Noon: social time \nNoon-1:00pm: presentation \n  \n
