Lynnette Oostmeyer
Lift Here
Lift Here is a project created to help people living with an invisible illness reflect on their lives and tell their own story. Lynnette created journaling kits for each participant that included a small notebook, various paper, markers, pens, colored pencils, stickers and tea.
Debra Tappendorf
Dye Garden
Dye Garden is a community project. This spring, Deb will plant vegetables, flowers and herbs for the natural dyes derived from the skins, stalks, flowers, bulbs and roots. These dyes will be used in a workshop creating a series of textile projects in the traditions of Chinese woodblock printing, Egyptian vat dyeing, and Balinese batik painting.
