WE GOT FUNDING FOR A FREE WORKSHOP!
I recently received a grant from the Surface Design Association which will cover the tools and materials for a two-day natural dye workshop for low income individuals. I am volunteering my time so that means I am able to offer it for free to scholarship students! Others are invited to participate for only $75. Are you in?
Please send this newsletter to any organization or individual you think might want to participate, too.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
You will go home with silk scarves as well as stretched silk on canvas designed by you using natural dyeing, botanical printing and shibori techniques taught by me.
By way of funding from the Surface Design Association and sponsorship from Grace Church Van Vorst there are a number of scholarship positions for people in financial need. Additional spots are available for only $75 including materials. Scholarship spots are available on a first come first serve basis via my website, www.jannamaria.com where you will register for the 'SDA scholarship' option and use the notes section to state why you require financial support. The following is a (non-exclusive) list of ways that you may qualify for a scholarship. You will receive confirmation of enrolment within two days of applying.
You are:
-a student
-a pensioner
-a Medicaid recipient
- a SNAP recipient or recipient of Public Benefits
-a resident of low-income housing
-an elder in government housing/care
-a single parent
-homeless/living in a shelter
-recently released from prison
I hope that you sign up and invite others too as well!
ABOUT THE ACCESS ART PROJECT
This workshop is a part of the Access Art Project which makes art education available to low income individuals in the form of free workshops by way of financial support from granting bodies and sponsors. After designing and organizing a comprehensive workshop based on skills that I can personally volunteer my time for I seek out financial support so that people who would otherwise be unable to afford extracurricular art classes may take them at no cost.
Feel free to email me with any questions or to request a poster in PDF form if you are interested in helping spread the word.
