Yarn Painting Class
Bridget Daly, Instructor
Date: Sunday, May 5, 2024, 1pm-4:30pm Location: Education & Conservation Annex, 112 Morris Street, La Conner, WA Yarn painting is a traditional art form of the Huichol people of Mexico. A glue made from tree resin and beeswax is painted on a backing board and brightly colored yarn is carefully pressed onto the waxed board and left to harden. In this class participants will design and complete a 5"x7" yarn painting on a prepared board. Teacher, Bridget Daly, will provide information on how to continue creating in this media outside the class with lists of materials and process. No experience necessary. Bio: For over 30 years Bridget has been engaged in teaching art techniques and concepts to seniors of all abilities. In 1996 she founded the art program at Providence Mount Saint Vincent in Seattle, WA, where she taught for 25 years. She teaches individuals and groups, and also teaches intergenerational classes where seniors and preschool children create together. Her teaching methods acknowledge the abilities, interests, and skills of her students. Her students sometimes include those with age-related dementia, with Alzheimer Disease and Parkinson's, people who suffer effects of strokes, hearing and vision loss, and brain injury. When she is not finding and developing new projects for students, she is creating her own art; dream-like impossibilities through traditional Huichol yarn-painting.
