PROGRAM:  " Deflected Structures and Microbial Metaphors"  with Rachel Hefferan

Rachel Hefferan is an artist and fermentation lover working to heighten the beauty, complexity, and necessity of microbial life. These tiny lives that came before us, exist within us, and facilitate the recycling of all basic structures in our world, deserve to be celebrated. Rachel is also an active homesteader & environmentalist. On her property she cares for sheep, goats, chickens, bees, and a large garden. Her life and artistic practice continually cross pollinate, exchanging influences between home and studio practice. As a weaver, Rachel views the loom as a tool for discovery and play; she structures her approach to making with science practices that allow for constant revision and learning. Hand spinning, crochet, natural dyes, recycled mill ends or discarded yarns, are all important parts of her studio practice.

We have an exciting program this month which will be held in downtown Saugatuck at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts Gallery.  Although some shops are closed for the season, many are still open, including Good Goods at the corner of Mason and Water St which is a fine craft gallery and store.  We will meet at the Butler for lunch at noon so there would be time before and after to explore town.  There is lots of parking adjacent to the SCA which is 2 blocks from the Butler.  Hope to see a great turnout for this special meeting.
