Trolley Hop Talk... Art Collective Folk Get the Job Done!

KYWAC creates a womens leadership environment locally!

Last night was a huge batch of yellow and orange fun... Women from ages 16 to 60 came out and learned about the Power of Print as a part of understanding the materials and processes associated with printmakers. Monotypes and Seriography were the featured skill sets and between the 5 active women we were able to lead the community of 15 to a greater appreciation for processes of creative interaction.

We produced over 15 BRYCC T-shirts and 3 Bike Love sweatshirts as well as a few funky freestyle shirts for the fun of it... we learned about rainbow rolling ink and screen printing process. With the help of lots of participants, the Trolley Hop Talk explored the roots of screen printing, monotypes, intaligo, lithography and batiking as cultural expressions.

Next month we will be taking on Mosaic processes and presenting our work on the exterior signage approved by the city! Join us on Sundays from 3-5 for open studio time and find out more about how you can start your own mosaic project.

Much thanks to Rachel Salansky for her design work and screens as well as Kris Phillip who prepped the studio and Kathy Sweeton for providing entertainment and refreshments.

Especially big thanks and love to Tara Remington from Artist and Craftsman Supply Store for providing the extra resources and encouragement.
