What is good design? Are there basic rules which can be followed (or broken)? How can tapestry ideas be translated into appealing designs which engage the viewer? This class focuses on putting basic design and color principles into practice on paper and at the loom. The practical design process will address questions of abstraction and simplification as tools for giving voice to the essential. Students will first work on a tapestry design for a small tapestry or a sampler for a larger tapestry which they will then weave during the class. Exercises will include the exploration of basic design elements such as lines and shapes, proportions and color relationships. The practical weaving part of the course will be tailored to each student's previous knowledge and all necessary tapestry techniques will be covered. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their own tapestry ideas and designs to class. When taken in combination with Color Theory in the Dye Studio in February both classes together offer students the entire artistic process - from design to dye studio to loom.

Cornelia Theimer Gardella weaves abstract tapestries using her own hand-dyed wool. Born, raised and educated in Germany, Cornelia came to New Mexico in 2005 to study traditional Fiber Arts at NNMC under Karen Martinez and contemporary tapestry with James Koehler. Together with James Koehler and Rebecca Mezoff, she was part of the international tapestry exhibition Interwoven Traditions: New Mexico and Bauhaus which was shown in Albuquerque and Erfurt, Germany in 2010. She teaches at Ghost Ranch and EVFAC. Be inspired at www.corneliatheimer.com.

The calligraphers and bookbinders belong to Escribiente, Albuquerque's calligraphy guild, and the Santa Fe Book Arts Group. They plan to be available from 10 am to noon and 1-3 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, though winter weather may occasionally interrupt those plans.

Bring your curiosity and your questions. Not only are the volunteers good at what they do, but they love to talk about the book arts.

Phone number for publication: 505-476-5200.

Ironweed Productions, in a co-production with the Santa Fe Playhouse, presents one of American's most moving and celebrated plays, Our Town by Thornton Wilder, running March 29th - April 15th at the Santa Fe Playhouse.

Our Town, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, changed the landscape of American theater when it was first presented at the McCarter Theater in Princeton, New Jersey in 1938, and its message is just as powerful today. Set in the mythical small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire in the early 1900's, the play takes the audience on a magical, poignant, and haunting odyssey, sharing the joy and pain, loves and losses of a community searching to find meaning in the struggles of everyday life. Told on a bare stage in sparse, elegant detail - and guided by the mysterious, eternal presence of the Stage Manager - Our Town promises audiences an uplifting, touching, and deeply memorable journey featuring an ensemble of over 20 Santa Fe actors spanning three generations. It is directed by Ironweed founder and Artistic Director Scott Harrison, who directed Ironweed's critically-acclaimed productions of Doubt: a Parable and The Trip to Bountiful.

Told on a bare stage in sparse, elegant detail - and guided by the mysterious, eternal presence of the Stage Manager - Our Town promises audiences an uplifting, touching, and deeply memorable journey featuring an ensemble of over 20 Santa Fe actors spanning three generations. It is directed by Ironweed founder and Artistic Director Scott Harrison, who directed Ironweed's critically-acclaimed productions of Doubt: a Parable and The Trip to Bountiful.

What is good design? Are there basic rules which can be followed (or broken)? How can tapestry ideas be translated into appealing designs which engage the viewer? This class focuses on putting basic design and color principles into practice on paper and at the loom. The practical design process will address questions of abstraction and simplification as tools for giving voice to the essential. Students will first work on a tapestry design for a small tapestry or a sampler for a larger tapestry which they will then weave during the class. Exercises will include the exploration of basic design elements such as lines and shapes, proportions and color relationships. The practical weaving part of the course will be tailored to each student's previous knowledge and all necessary tapestry techniques will be covered. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their own tapestry ideas and designs to class. When taken in combination with Color Theory in the Dye Studio in February both classes together offer students the entire artistic process - from design to dye studio to loom.

Cornelia Theimer Gardella weaves abstract tapestries using her own hand-dyed wool. Born, raised and educated in Germany, Cornelia came to New Mexico in 2005 to study traditional Fiber Arts at NNMC under Karen Martinez and contemporary tapestry with James Koehler. Together with James Koehler and Rebecca Mezoff, she was part of the international tapestry exhibition Interwoven Traditions: New Mexico and Bauhaus which was shown in Albuquerque and Erfurt, Germany in 2010. She teaches at Ghost Ranch and EVFAC. Be inspired at www.corneliatheimer.com.

The Winter Farmers' Market in the Santa Fe Railyard provides the freshest greens, hydroponic tomatoes, and other winter veggies grown by Northern New Mexico farmers; plus, local sustainably raised meats, eggs, cheeses, baked goods, honey, teas, spices, herbs, body care, fiber arts, and much more!

As part of the new exhibitions Illuminating the Word: The Saint John's Bible and Contemplative Landscape, calligraphers from Albuquerque and Santa Fe will demonstrate a wide variety of book crafts in the History Museum's second-floor Gathering Space, through Saturday, April 7.

How do quills, ink and vellum work together? How delicate is gold leaf? How do you stitch a medieval book? How does your name look in calligraphic script? Come find out.

The calligraphers and bookbinders belong to Escribiente, Albuquerque's calligraphy guild, and the Santa Fe Book Arts Group. They plan to be available from 10 am to noon and 1-3 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, though winter weather may occasionally interrupt those plans. Keep an eye open during the week, too: Calligraphers sometimes show up and set up shop for the love of it. If you have a group of visitors coming at other times, call ahead and we'll work to arrange a demonstration. For such requests, call Tom Leech, director of the Palace Press, at 505-476-5096.

Bring your curiosity and your questions. Not only are the volunteers good at what they do, but they love to talk about the book arts.

Phone number for publication: 505-476-5200.

Ironweed Productions, in a co-production with the Santa Fe Playhouse, presents one of American's most moving and celebrated plays, Our Town by Thornton Wilder, running March 29th - April 15th at the Santa Fe Playhouse.

Our Town, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, changed the landscape of American theater when it was first presented at the McCarter Theater in Princeton, New Jersey in 1938, and its message is just as powerful today. Set in the mythical small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire in the early 1900's, the play takes the audience on a magical, poignant, and haunting odyssey, sharing the joy and pain, loves and losses of a community searching to find meaning in the struggles of everyday life. Told on a bare stage in sparse, elegant detail - and guided by the mysterious, eternal presence of the Stage Manager - Our Town promises audiences an uplifting, touching, and deeply memorable journey featuring an ensemble of over 20 Santa Fe actors spanning three generations. It is directed by Ironweed founder and Artistic Director Scott Harrison, who directed Ironweed's critically-acclaimed productions of Doubt: a Parable and The Trip to Bountiful.

Pugach is a professor emeritus of history at the University of New Mexico. He has taught on Jewish history, foreign relations, and American diplomacy.

All of the lectures are held in the JohnGaw Meem Room of the museum; enter through the Washington Avenue doors. The lectures are free and, yes, you may bring a lunch to enjoy.

During this time, curators from The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and The Laboratory of Anthropology are in the lobby of MIAC to look at your treasures. These curators will attempt to identify and explain any artifact or historic object presented to them. They prefer to work with objects from the Southwest but are willing to take a look at anything that is brought in. If they can not identify an object an attempt will be made to find someone who can. Sometimes, the discussion among the curators may become as much or more informative than the identification of the artifact. The event is always FREE and open to the public.

See how glass beads are made and design your own bead to take home.

Experience all things musical as you explore the violin and other instruments.
