Sponsored by Sarasota Museum of Art and Creative Liberties

Presenters: Tiffany Jennings, Felecia Desiano, Sonia Azar, and Ellen Goldberg

Sarasota Art Museum
1001 S Tamiami Trail
Sarasota, FL 34236

June 15, 2023
9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Join the Sarasota Art Education Association in sunny Sarasota, FL, for an art education experience you won't forget. Meet at the new Sarasota Art Museum for a tour where you will get tangled in the fiber arts exhibit and enjoy listening to guest speaker Tiffany Jennings, PhD. Then participate in two mixed media creative workshops: Yarn Painting with Felecia Desiano and Lucet Cord Weaving with Sonia Azar. Shop at the museum store and walk a short distance to Art and Frame, Sarasota's only privately run and family owned art supply store.

Participants will be given the option to choose 2 of these 3 programs: 

  1. Yarn Painting, with Felicia Desiano:  Huichol Yarn Painting is an ancient technique created by the Huichol Shamans of Jalisco, Mexico. The resulting artworks were used to reflect relationships with ancestors and nature deities. In this workshop we will engage in this relaxing and meditative process while exploring the elements of color, shape and texture.
  2. Lucet Cord Weaving, with Sonia Azar: Lucet cord is a square cord with 4 perfect sides and can be used in a variety of creative applications. Lucet cord is adaptable to any grade level from young students to adults. Use the lucet to make shapes, jewelry, coasters, broche, coil it and make coaster or bowls. The uses are only limited by your imagination. Once the investment is made in the lucet tool, the only other consumable item needed is yarn or string. Lucet cord can be created with a variety of yarn or string weights. 
  3. Fabric Brooches and Fiber Embellishment with Ellen Goldberg: Create one-of -a -kind brooch or small fiber embellishment using felt, fabrics, small beads, ribbons, thread, buttons, etc. Examples will be shown.
