Entrance slip reading and viewing for Thurs Sept 26

   For our next class, please read this short excerpt from Vancouver eco artist Sharon Kallis’ book on learning through reviving ancient technologies and inventing new ones through ‘backsourcing’ and building community: <https://drive.google.com/file/d/16VJRDSKLNO1BAWz4ZPsbucZJlMu8Ux2r/view?usp=drivesdk>

Also, please watch the following three videos— and if you have the chance, please try out at least one of the three techniques shown to begin to get the ‘feel’ for them!

1) The art and geometry of rope-making and yarn plying < https://vimeo.com/168606144>

2) Simple Turkish lace/ netting/ string bag <https://www.facebook.com/rendaturca.singeleza/videos/496395924466783/>

3) How to make multi strand braid < https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f3m2KFZQAlw>

Your blog post should respond to your ‘stops’ in Kallis’s writing and a reflection on viewing and trying out the craft techniques. (We will be making some of these in class next Thursday!)
