Looking at, Talking about, and Appreciating Art
It's the holiday season! Now that we've seen our first snow it's time to be merry and bright, and what better way than with an ornament? Learn how artist Rhonda Inman makes her compound ornaments and pick one up at #fwmoa for friends or family!
Gather up your favorite treasures and souvenirs to create your own genre-spanning still life inspired by the work of Katja Oxman, currently on display at #fwmoa in a "Year of Making Meaning".
Some artists create for themselves, but not Steven and Susan Shaikh. Their handmade, affordable jewelry is made for YOU! See how this husband-and-wife team collaborate in this SHOP post. Then, stop by #fwmoa Paradigm Gallery to see the works in person.
Circles, circles, everywhere! We got inspired by some of the newest acquisitions at #FWMoA, particularly our much-loved Liz Whitney Quisgard's textile work of 32 circles "Lots of Circles", to make our own circular weavings!
Time to bundle up! As the temperatures continue to drop, we're reaching for our gloves, hats, and, of course, scarves! Visit the Paradigm Gallery at #FWMoA to try on textile artist Amy Gunderson's scarves, created using eco-dyeing and leaves.
Happy Halloween! Looking for something spooky to do today? Grab a pumpkin and carve a jack-o'-lantern inspired by the #FWMoA collection.
This common decoration used during Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, altars is called cartonerías. Made with papier-mâché, they are an important part of the celebration of both life and death. Learn more about it and make your own!
Take a look at Joseph Pelka's individually hand-crafted ceramic vessels. Here, we share the process behind his decorative pieces, ones which he hopes will be passed down from family member to family member.
What's your first impression? We stepped outside the studio and took a brush from Impressionist artists, who focused on painting the changing light and colors around them in everyday scenes. Find out how we made Impressionism our own!
It's spooky season at the Paradigm Gallery! Artist Jill Ellen Chambers creates whimsical, hand-painted ornaments for every season, including Halloween! Check out her work, now on sale at FWMoA!
