NEXT MEETING
November 18th, 2026 – 7pm
Michael James
For over fifty years, Michael James's studio practice centered on fabric constructions. His textiles have been recognized and exhibited internationally, and are included in the collections of the Museum of Arts & Design in New York City, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Racine Art Museum, the Newark Museum, the Mint Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Shelburne Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Renwick Gallery of the American Art Museum at the Smithsonian Institution, among others.
In 2024, James returned to painting and mixed media; his ongoing studio work is focused on experimentation in that arena.
Pre-Meeting begins at 6pm with Dominie Nash & Ann Vollum
Dominie Nash is a a full-time studio art quilter, primarily self-taught. She gradually developed her own way of doing things and a personal style, which involved finding a way to do the types of designs she envisioned without using the precise techniques of traditional quiltmaking. Hence, a sort of overlapping appliqué, leaving the edges raw, was the solution. Since I didn’t know the rules, I was free to break them and to achieve the kind of spontaneity She constructs collage-like art quilts using fabrics which she has patterned with a variety of surface design processes, including immersion dyeing, painting with dyes and pigments, screen-, mono- and Inko-printing, chemical resist, and discharge.
Ann Vollum is a New Jersey fiber and mixed media artist whose artistic journey has progressed through painting, line drawing, book making, paper cuts, to hand stitched textiles and fiber sculptures. Inspired by the macabre, Ann’s allegorical narrative tableaux are hand stitched on either natural linen or eco dyed fabric. Ann also makes soft sculptures from natural, eco and rust dyed rescued fabrics which echo the earth, bush and masks of Africa. On the quirky side, she makes colorful wet felted sculptures.
