The art I make is the result of a life-long love of pattern, texture and color. How I teach is a skill honed by experience (I started teaching creative arts to younger kids when I was 12). After earning a B.A. in Studio Arts from Trinity University, I helped lead an internationally recognized educational foundation, designed curriculum exhibits for schools and other institutions, wrote and edited for a major daily newspaper, opened the San Antonio Children's Museum and then, a dozen years ago, took the scary but essential (for me) leap to become a fulltime artist and art teacher.

About This Blog

This weblog is about the maker's life. The teacher's path. The stitching and dyeing and printing of the craft of art cloth and art quilt. The stumbling around and the soaring, the way the words and the pictures come together. Poetry on the page and in the piecing of bright scraps together. The inner work and the outer journeys to and from. Practicalities and flights of fancy and fearful grandeur, trivial pursuits and tactile amusements. Expect new postings two or three times a week, unless you hear otherwise.

    Complex Cloth Mastery Class

    DateWednesday, July 21, 2010 at 09:48AM

    Jane Dunnewold is sending information about the 2011 Mastery Class to those who inquire. To see work (and read a bit) about the 2007 class and their exhibit, head to this blog site (it's another great artist's date!) and see the rest of the photos. This shot above is from the blog.

    To get information about the course write Jane directly at dunnewoldj  "at symbol" complexcloth.com

    I know the course involves several years of work, but everyone I know who has embarked on this journey has found it an incredible experience. Here's what Jane said about that original exhibit: (The course requirements may have changed, I don't know for sure)

    The artwork was created by the participants in the 2 1/2 year Mastery
    Program. Students come to San Antonio for five six-day sessions over
    that time period and we cover all of the basics to become a master at
    the layering process with wet media. There is also a concentration on
    color and one on design. By the time they got to the exhibition stage,
    they were really ready to fly on their own, as you can see. That's part
    of the reason I wanted to share their work - it was a really good
    exhibition, and they worked so hard I feel they deserve to be
    recognized! ...
