...

$10.00

Intermediate Class for those familiar with the I Ching with it’s applications of The Oracle of the Cosmic Way
7-9:00 p.m
$15.00

Both classes are based on Carol Anthony’s book, “I Ching, The Oracle of the Cosmic Way” which will be available for purchase in paperback for $20 at the time of the class. Cash, check, credit card accepted.
Please RSVP: kimyoung99@gmail.com


Why the I Ching?
The purpose of the I Ching is to show us the true causes and effects of events happening in our lives. The I Ching helps us understand that the causes of discomfort lie in personal beliefs that contradict Cosmic Intention. The I Ching also describes the help that is available to us to carry out course corrections, returning to the true meaning of our lives.

The I Ching is partly Taoist philosophy, psychology, and quantum theory in an oracle form. Its contents engage the open-minded with sometimes startling dialogue, springing to life for the asking. It’s gift offering is only self-knowledge, providing a gateway to clarity for your individual life path. What is the meaning behind difficult experiences? What truth is Cosmic Intention trying to convey to you?: Learning the I Ching is an art form to be learned and integrated into daily life. Sincerity is its only requirement.

If one is seriously in need of guidance say about a deeper nagging question of "who they are", or what they are feeling, this ancient book in it's new form may be indispensable. It provides an infinite source of wisdom.

Kim Young will share her experience with the I Ching providing insights in class from that experience. Kim received training at the I Ching Institute in Stow, Massachusetts and has been a practitioner for over 15 years.

Hecho A Mano

I've been wanting to provide something more interactive in the arts, both with kids and adults, and this weekend, April 16-17th, we're doing just that.

I call it "Hecho A Mano", or 'made by hand and spirit'. Over 20 artists will be showing works that they make and many of them will either demonstrate how they do it or let you try your hand at making art.

It should be fun.

This is a first time event like this anywhere in Tucson, so we're trying it on for size. I hope to organize more Hecho A Mano (eh-cho ah mah-no) events with different themes and events and activities attached to it.



Some artists who will be showing work:
Peg Hanson-Whitmore, Randall Hobbs, Scott Miller, Roberta Lewis, Susan Ettl, Jerome Rago, Kaye Guerin, Rebecca O'Day, Rosie Wicks, Larry Gomez, Jeff Mott, Pauline Pedregon, Mike Loghry, Derek Loewy, Patrick McArdle, Mykl Wells, Beth Jonquil, Ruth Hillman, Leah Albert, William Touhey, Douglas Weber, Cristina Cardenas, Louise Nilsson, Rick Wheeler, Dallas Josephy, David Aguirre, Maria Arvayo, Linda Bohlke, Ashley White, Shana Cinquemani, La Fashionista Leon, Amy Hagemeier's face painting, and more!


FREE.
Easy parking for petroleum based propulsion units, wheel based human powered units, or expeditiously bipedal humanoids.

Beverages and treats provided. Donations accepted.

For more information, or if you want to participate in some way contact me at dinnerwareartspace@gmail.com

Saturday, April 2nd, 5-9pm Arts Get Together at Dinnerware

Saturday, April 2nd, 5-9pm Arts Get Together, 119 E. Toole.
Easy, and fantastic, parking for human, or petroleum, powered vehicles.


Let's talk.

We've been having tons of quick and fruitful and fun meetings and we're about ready to start showing some of what we've been organizing. Drop by Dinnerware this Saturday, 5-9pm for a look. We'll put a beer, or other beverage, in your hand, and maybe a grilled cheese sandwich.

Dinnerware Artspace is a group effort. William Touhey and Leah Albert have been working hard on creating Dinnerware Press, a new printmaking/silk screening collective.
Talk about emerging leaders. . .

Last week Social Science Junk Shop, 43 S. 6th Ave, donated a cool letter set press made sometime in the 1950's. Thanks Adam Krantz! Also, Borealis Gallery, 6530 E. Tanque Verde, donated a dry mount machine. Thanks, Nathan!

Yoga Fusion is moving ahead with great leadership from Candace Glass, Jamie Chandler and Roxanne Ramos. Yes, we will be doing yoga while artworks inspires your downward dog.


Central Arts Gallery Collective will be exhibiting their members' work along with new members. That should make things lively!

Patrick McArdle is leading the way for Dinnerware's Photo Darkrooms which are very cool. If interested, join us on Tuesday, March 29th, 7pm for a chat.

Don't forget the new Jewelry Collective and the new Ceramics Collective, too. Ceramics interested persons might want to check it out on Monday, March 28th, 7pm. The Jewelry Collective will meet on Tuesday, March 29th, 12:15pm.

Also, this coming Saturday, Doug Weber, who will be teaching painting and drawing at Dinnerware, but also loves to cook, will be flipping grilled cheese sandwiches for you. See Dinnerware's recently acquired "Good and Evil" Food Truck on Saturday, too. (Good=tends to be greens, Bad=tends to be meaty). A four-wheeled ART work in progress. Thank you, PK Kayak(anonymous), for helping us with your generous donation that was instrumental in buying this unique food truck!

Human resouces make things happen. Organized groups make things happen.

Dinnerware's new concept is to create a unique art center for persons such as yourself and your children to explore and create across mediums, in a nonacademic paradigm, where the process of creativity is where the personal gold is at, and not necessarily in some final product.


Drop by, take a look on Saturday, April 2nd, 5-9pm.
See what we're working on, who we've gathered, with almost no money. You'll feel awed.

We use vision and volunteers who want to create something pretty cool, that's not being done, but should.

And if you want to make an anonymous financial contribution that says
"more creativity, for more people, is a good thing", then, thanks for that.

Free Fabric Printing Workshop

Adults
March 19, 2011
10: 00 AM – 12:00 PM

Dinnerware Workshops are based on exploration and experimentation. I’ll bet you never thought of using Jell-O to make an art print. On March 19th, 2011 join fibers artist Susan Ettl and try it out for yourself. Susan will lead a demonstration of printing on fabric using gelatin, yes, Jell-O, to make monoprints. She’ll also show you how to print on fabric using found objects and kitchen utensils. If you think this sounds crazy, come join her and be crazy with her.
It’s great fun for those who want to explore new mediums, test the waters, and bridge the gap. Bring a friend and make it a friend-art-date. Be sure to wear old clothes or an apron. Dinnerware will provide all the fabric paints and several pieces of fabric. Bring extra fabric of all kinds to broaden your adventure. 

Orange Fabric Printed on Jell-o!
