IN MORE DETAIL
Learn from one of the area’s most imaginative and skilled printmakers in a two-day, adults only Monotype Workshop Friday, March 27 and Saturday, March 28, 2015 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Coos Art Museum.  Renowned local artist, printmaker and art educator Pat Snyder will share with workshop participants the painterly printmaking process incorporating spontaneous painting and/or drawing within the fine art of printmaking using an etching press.  Materials can include paints, inks, pastels, charcoal and crayons or a combination of materials painted or drawn onto a surface (substrate). Substrates can be plates of wood, metal, glass, or plexiglas, however, for this workshop students will use plexiglas as the substrate. Plexiglas offers a consistent thickness supplying a uniform etching pressure for all students and due to its transparency can be placed over drawings or photographs acting as a useful guide for making the monotype.

Participants will learn the many different tools and materials for applying and subtracting paints and/or inks. Oil-based inks and paints have been popular with artists for their slow drying times. This Monotype Workshop will use non-toxic, slow drying, and safe Akua® water-based paints and inks. Additional topics will include monotype terminology, proper use of the etching press, the limits of materials and supplies, chine colle (specialty paper glued to monotype) and studio setup. 

This workshop is a prerequisite for independent use and rental of Coos Art Museum’s Printmaking Studio.  Cost for the two-day workshop is $75 for CAM members and $90 for non-members.  Class size is limited to 6 participants.  Registration ends March 19, 2015.  For online registration visit www.coosart.org or contact the Art Education Dept. at (541) 267-3901.

This workshop is a prerequisite for independent use and rental of Coos Art Museum’s Printmaking Studio.  Cost for the two-day workshop is $75 for CAM members and $90 for non-members.  Registration ends February 26, 2015.  Class size is limited to 6 participants.  For online registration visit www.coosart.org or contact the Art Education Dept. at (541) 267-3901.

Lead, Follow or get out of the Way



Hi friends of South Coast Folk Society,

2015 has arrived - the centennial celebration of Country Dance and Song Society has begun! Visit http://cdss100.org/ for updates of celebrations happening around the country. 

Closer to home, these are some of the activities we are planning for our celebration  Oct 4-10, 2015:
A variety of workshops for song leaders, for callers, for dancers and for musicians. Bob Dalsemer is a renown caller - he will do a series of workshops with people of all skill levels who want to learn calling. The members of Firefly have some interesting topics for their workshops - learn to make your tunes dance! But Folk Week is not just about developing skills of people already affiliated with SCFS. We want to reach out to the larger community, celebrating the joy of  traditional dance, music and song. So we'll have dances, a concert, in-school programs, and after school programs with youth. Seven days chockful of activities!

THANK YOU for the many of you who have raised your hand to volunteer! Still more help is needed. Do you have these skills? Reply to this email if the answer if YES to any of these:

The gift of hospitality: we're hosting musicians and a caller for Folk Week. Can you offer a room and breakfast to one or more musicians? 

Do you have leadership, organizational AND outstanding people skills? We're looking for a Volunteer Coordinator. This will be a uniquely important job to ensure the success of Folk Week. Can you help get the right people to the right places at the right times? 

Point people - would you be responsible to be a point person for ONE of the activities mentioned above? As a point person, you will help the steering committee plan that activity; you would be the go-to person at that activity. Which activity are you most drawn to? Be the point person for it! 

Food - Lynn Danner is our Hospitality Coordinator. Can you help prepare a dish for one of the potlucks? There are also only two opportunities left to host the band in your home for one of their dinners. Can you cook a meal for 5? 

As soon as all of the Folk Week activities are confirmed, we'll be EAGER to share the schedule with you. In the meantime, check out the SCFS web site for updates https://southcoastfolksociety.wordpress.com/cdss-tour/ and LIKE us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/southcoastfolkweek

Enjoy this fun video of Bob Dalsemer calling a square dance. Dare you not to smile. 
Smooth moves! 

Correction to this month's email announcement:  The regularly scheduled 4th Friday folk dance will be held THIS FRIDAY, Jan 23. See you at Greenacres Grange at 7:00 pm!

Got questions about South Coast Folk Week? Ask any member of the steering committee: Karen Olsen, Lynn Danner, Jennifer Sordyl, Gail Elber or me!

See you on the dance floor,
Stacy Rose
