Beyond the Grid Pattern Meditation - Metallic Edition! with Anjelika Deogirikar Grossman
Couldn't load pickup availability
Wednesday, December 18, 2:00 - 3:30pm PT
End the year with some sparkle! A variation on Meditation on Anni Albers’ Grid Patterns and Beyond the Grid Pattern Meditations, I started exploring pattern-making with metallics. Drawing inspiration from American textile artist and printmaker Anni Albers and the improvisational quilts by the women of Gee’s Bend, I create a sense of mediation and flow, noticing the negative and positive space, as I move across the page to create a pattern of repeated right triangles. Metallics have different qualities than other pigments and it’s exciting to explore on different tones of paper.
Join zoom 15 minutes early (1:45pm) for an informal meet and greet with the instructor and other class participants! Session instructions will begin promptly at 2:05pm PT so that everyone has plenty of time to join!
