November 16 - Non-Objective Abstracts with Marianne Broome

This is an exciting workshop for exploration and creativity. Even those people who say “I do not like abstracts” will have a lot of fun and discover new possibilities. Several different techniques will be explained in the demonstrations.

Marianne Broome will discuss composition and design, and explore avenues for inspiration. Ways to incorporate texture, the use of different tools and the selection of a colour palette for your own painting will also be explored. All skill levels can be accommodated. Marianne will provide reference photos but please bring you own, anything that suggests major shapes and/or colours.

Marianne has had a passion for painting all her life. She has won many awards for her paintings in juried shows, including many Best of Show awards. She has had numerous shows, and her work is in private collections and galleries in a number of countries.

November 4 - Globe Luncheon with Quilting “Dufferin Treasures”

Quilting is an art form which also has a history to tell. The Dufferin County Museum & Archives (DCMA) is in the process of publishing a history of Dufferin County quilting dating back to the 1800s. 

 

Each one of these quilts reveals the fantastic skills their makers possessed, as well as details about the people who put the quilts together. My favourite is the Grand Valley quilt. The ladies of that community worked together to create this quilt in response to the Red Cross’ request for blankets for the field hospitals during WW I. How the quilt was returned to Dufferin County is an amazing story. Come to lunch to hear the details! This quilt brings tears to my eyes - showing, as it does, the love and anguish in its stitches.

Steve Brown and Shelagh Roberts will display some of the other quilts the Museum possesses. By November, the Museum hopes to have completed its brilliant book on the quilts of Dufferin County.
