SUMMARY:March 18 Creative Circle
DESCRIPTION:The 2025-26 Intercultural Creative Circles begin November 5\, 2025 through March 2026 on MOST Wednesdays from 11am – 3pm. Please check our Events Schedule for updates or specific information regarding guest artists. \nLearn how to start a project or bring a project you’ve already started. All ages and skill levels are welcome. Drop in only\, no fee or registration required. Participants should provide their own supplies or get started with limited materials. \nKristin Majkzak is the guest host for Circles held on March 4\, 18\, 25 from 11am to 3pm.\n(No circle on March 11) \nI became entranced with the idea of tapestry weaving in my early fifties and began exploring the artistic possibilities of this medium of expression through workshops and books. I love the texture of yarn\, the way it feels in my hands\, and I love how light reflects off fibers in its own special way. Tapestry is a weft-faced weave\, and the warp threads are a structure for the weaving that is\, for the most part\, invisible in the finished work. I find the limitations of the weaving grid to be freeing\, like form can be in poetry. Working around those limitations is like a spark that fires the imagination. Tapestry weaving is also a very slow process\, a meditation if you will. Poetry is also a meditative art. I began writing poetry in my early teens as a way of processing and deeply exploring my inner and outer worlds. In recent years\, I have been experimenting with the interplay of the visual and auditory senses through the pairing of tapestry and poetry. \nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota\, through grant from the Region 2 Arts Council\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
