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:Brazos Valley Gives - Tuesday\, Oct 17\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe Visual Art Society of B-CS has been involved with Brazos Valley Gives for the last 4 years.   You can visit our page at www.brazosvalleygives.org/Visual_Art_Society  On the page we have a fundraiser page for the Aggieland Art Trail.  All proceeds go toward all our community projects\, including scholarships for art students.  All donors giving at least $20 will be listed on our Sponsor webpage and on our Aggieland Art Trail brochure.  Early giving started September 18.  It is a wonderful event for the community. \nBrazos Valley Gives\, an initiative of the Community Foundation of the Brazos Valley\, is a month-long community giving effort that culminates in 18 hours of online giving on the 3rd Tuesday of October. Giving together as one community to raise money and awareness for local nonprofits in 7 Brazos Valley counties can do a great deal. \n\nBrazos Valley Gives is a community day of giving that strengthens nonprofits\, empowers donors\, and builds community. The goal for 2023 Brazos Valley Gives is $1\,250\,000 with 165 participating nonprofit organizations. During 2022\, donors rallied to raise $1\,176\,760 and donated 9\,677 volunteer hours to support the good works of 161 nonprofit organizations. Since 2019\, the Community Foundation’s Brazos Valley Gives Day has raised $3\,268\,788 for participating nonprofits in the 7-county region of the Brazos Valley.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis annual day of “giving where you live” is powered by the Community Foundation of the Brazos Valley\, and all donations pass-thru directly to the donor’s charity or charities of choice.
