A painting of Eileen Wagner weaving a cedar bark hat<\/p><\/div>\n

A couple of weeks ago, Della Cheney contacted all of us who have attended the Sunday afternoon gathering of artists at Fireweed Place.\u00a0 She said that the group was invited to display any of their work in a show down at the Juneau Arts and Culture Center.\u00a0 When she asked Fausto and I to help set up the exhibit last Thursday night, I figured we’d have a few things to show – little did I know we would fill up an entire room!\u00a0 And little did I know that I had anything to show until Della asked me to show some of my paintings and prints.\u00a0 Ha-eh!?<\/p>\n

We were also invited to demonstrate whatever projects we may have on our looms and hat forms, so about 9 of us showed up, set up tables down the middle of the exhibit room and demonstrated the weaving of cedar bark hatbands, baskets and hats, Ravenstail pouches, leggings and bags, and the weaving of a Chilkat robe.<\/p>\n

Juneau Arts & Humanities Director, Nancy DeChurney talks with Della Cheney about this evening's Gallery Walk exhibit<\/p><\/div>\n

There is a feeling of cooperation and inspiration as we all work individually on our own projects sitting side-by-side with a kind of quiet companionship, the stuff that is made of long-term relationships that will most likely last a lifetime whether we are conscious about our efforts or not.<\/p>\n
