2009 Maiwa Textile Symposium
Workshop
Each student will focus on forming ideas, images, and themes for use in their work. These will be accessed through memory, reflection, and conversation and then further developed through a blend of writing, drawing, and paper collage exercises.
Class assignments will incorporate basic design principles that students can apply as they work on realizing designs for a final project. Projects can take on many forms including sculpture and performance.
Supportive critiques and discussions will elaborate on how to better define, develop, and sustain our art-making. This class provides students with a challenging and supportive environment for developing their art. All media interests and levels welcome.
Jean Cacicedo travels from Berkeley, California, to give this workshop.

Instructor Jean Cacicedo
We all possess a wealth of personal inner resources that can be given shape and form through the creative process of our art-making. This workshop will provide students with the tools necessary to uncover an awareness of their own personal mythology.
