Janet Lasher, mixed media and fiber artist and member of the Charlotte Artery will be presenting some of her new work with fellow fiber artist, Susan Brubaker-Knapp at the Mint Museum 2730 Randolph Road, Charlotte December 1st, 7-8:30pm.
This program is presented through the Mint Museum’s First Tuesdays Artists’ Forum and is free to all. Janet and Susan will be presenting their work and will discuss how it relates and diverges from the fine craft and tradition of American Quilting.

Announcing show 2 of 6
Nov 3
Charlotte Artery, 130 Bland St.
It’s time to announce our second exhibition! Charlotte Artery will be having our next showing on Friday, November 13th at 130 Bland Street, one quick block off of Tryon St. in South End. It’s a stunningly simple 40’ x 40’ enclosed space that we will convert into a gallery for one week. We can’t wait.
Artery members have been hard at work putting together more work to for this show, and we’ve invited a few guest artists to exhibit with us. That makes this an eight person show, so there will be lots to see. We’re proud to have with us the following;
Paul Keysar
Jon Tarleton
Teresa Overcash
The posted images are our new cards to advertise the show around town. They were designed by Artery member Dan Allegrucci who did a stand-up job. We will post a list of places you can find the cards soon. In the meantime enjoy this preview. Below you will find the back which contains a map and a few details.

This is how the finished woodcut print will look. Too much yellow?

The three layers for yellowdog
Julie Benda:
This is the third print in a series I’m creating thanks to a grant from the Arts and Science Council of Charlotte.
So far I’m up to three colors per block. While the results are less than ideal, it’s a lot better than carving another block.
Come to our next show at 130 W. Bland St. to see the first two prints!
