Small Showcase Exhibition

Stop into Delta Workshop this weekend, to celebrate the opening of Small Showcase, an Exhibition of Work Under 12” with me. Two of my bioluminescent photograms are in the show.

The opening is 6-8pm, Saturday, 1/10. Here’s the address for the gallery: 2598 21st Street, Sacramento, CA 95818.

The show is a snapshot of artwork in the region at this moment by way of 35 artists. I admire the work of so many of the artists in the show, and my eyes were popping with excitement with the work I got to see during my art drop off.

Nature and landscape are themes in many pieces, and many of the artworks have materials and process as driving forces. Yep, my work falls into the latter category. :)

If you miss the opening, you can always catch the show until it closes on 3/7 during Delta’s normal gallery hours.

I just saw the show Secondhand at Pier 24 in San Francisco and it was so good that I want to see it again! It’s a photography exhibition featuring the use of found photos and images used in ways you’d never expect. I posted a few pics on Instagram/Facebook if you want to see my favs from the show.

See you soon!

Cheers,
Kate

Cyanotype Silk Scarf Making coming up

Digital Rebellion!
Give your Hipstamatic a break. Try making a cyanotype printed scarf and get a feel for what photography was like long before the digital age. I'm teaching this fun workshop on 11/23 so sign-up!

Cyanotype Silk Scarf

Sunday, November 23rd 11-1pm • $50   

You’ll create a silk scarf using the very same Cyanotype photographic process that Anna Atkins, famed first woman photographer, used in the 1840’s. The shadows and silhouettes from the objects placed on the scarf create white and light blue highlights that are surrounded by a deep “cyanotype” blue.

Like sun prints, this is a photogram technique which means it does not use negatives or an enlarger, just objects and a scarf coated with a light sensitive cyanotype mix.

 

Use it as a gift or keep it for yourself. It is a great way to create art that you can wear. Once you learn the technique, you can create designs using a wide variety of materials—a great way to make a custom gift for the holidays.

No prior photography knowledge needed, and all materials will be provided. You will go home with one completed cyanotype scarf.

Please note: This is a weather-permitting workshop. If it’s too rainy, you’ll get the process demonstrated and have the materials to make your own at home on a rain-free day.

Sign up for this fun class!

thank you open studio visitors!

Thank you to all of the 140 folks who came out to visit me during Sac Open Studios! It was such a fun weekend getting to share my work with you! And getting to say hello and reconnect with friends I haven't seen in a while.

I was in awe by all of great questions you had and was especially delighted to see people that came out last year visiting again. I got to see some of my little photo babies go to happy homes which means so much to me and it encourages me to keep challenging myself to make more and push the edges of what I create.

I was really flattered by the people who visited and then came back with their spouse or friend to show them my work. You guys are great!!

Thank you bunches!
