A Community I Love!

11/14/2011

2 of Jackie's scarves

With 75 members, 3 of which are on the national board,
the St. Louis Chapter of Women’s Caucus for Art
is a community I love!

Our most recent membership meeting was motivating as usual – textile artist Jackie Phillips Weatherly was the evening’s Guest Presenter.

Check out the photos below of her silk scarf painting demonstration
and members trying out new techniques!

Jackie begins her demonstration with members watching intently.

Other WCA members puruse through silk painting reference books brought in by Jackie.

WCA President Jan Nesser passes out door prizes...new silk scarves to paint!

Members collaborate and experiment, adding dye and salt to the new silk scarf creation.

Jackie will be steaming this scarf, then giving it as a door prize at our next WCA membership meeting!

To find out more about Jackie Phillipps Weatherly, visit her website, blog, and Facebook page!
What community do you love?
Have a great beginning to your week!
Mary
