Painting Winter, from Bruegel to Monet Join us this holiday season to look closely at scenes of winter from art history. We'll discuss paintings associated with the Little Ice Age--with a focus on the Dutch artist Hendrick Avercamp (1585-1634), a specialist in painting activities on ice. We'll also walk through Pieter Bruegel's series showing months of the year, particularly his celebrated 'Hunters in the Snow', in praise of the winter season. About Weili Jin Weili Jin has been passionate about the history of art ever since first seeing Botticelli in the second grade. Ten years later, he continues to specialize in the paintings of Renaissance Florence, particularly the patronage of the Medici. Most recently, he has worked to develop the YouTube channel “Narrative Art History,” a lecture series that contextualizes Renaissance art in a continuous, chronological narrative.

Exploring versatile running stitches The technique of decorating a fabric surface with running stitches can be found in many cultures. In this class students will learn 2 types of stitching: Sashiko, which means “little stabs” in Japanese, and Kantha, which translates to “rags” in Sanskrit. The primary function of the stitching was to mend and reuse old but treasured fabric; to gather layers of fabric which then provided warmth and insulation; and/or strengthen the fabric for heavy usage. However, the decorative aspect of this timeless practice became just as important and valued, and its rich “vocabulary” translates into endless pattern variations. Learn traditional Sashiko patterns using simple grid-based stitches such as “zigzag,” “field of flowers,” and traditional patterns using curves such as “ocean waves,” and “rising steam.” We will also cover the organic and flowing art of Kantha stitching. Students will create a beautiful personalized linen table runner or 2 placemats. $15 material fee payable to the instructor at the start of class This class is appropriate for ages 12 years and older. • Scholarships available • Military and sibling discounts For more information visit: sandiegocraft.org Stay Connected on Facebook
