September 2022 General Meeting

General Meetings, Information September 9, 2022

Our First General Meeting of the 2022/23 Season Will Be On Tuesday, September 20, 2022

Welcome back to our returning members and welcome to all new members! We will be starting our new season with a general meeting on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, at:

Homewood Suites
23320 Hwy 59N
Kingwood, TX
77339

6:30pm Meet & Greet
7:00pm Meeting & Demo

Our September Demo Artist is Inga Strause-Godejord – Hand Painted Silk Scarves

INGA STRAUSE GODEJORD

The name of my company is INGASILKS and I specialize in painting on silk, luxurious hand painted silk accessories for women and men. I am the owner of the company and its sole employee. I do every task from procuring the best quality materials to product design, production and marketing. I am proud of the fact that I can provide my clients with one of a kind, unique, sophisticated, individually designed and made by hand piece. Each piece begins its life as a pure white 100% silk stretched on a frame. Then a combination of techniques is used to create the vivid colorful scarves, ascots and cravats, from a fluid watercolor method to a more controlled resist technique. Each piece is steam-set for hours for brilliant and permanent color. My work differs from many other silk products in the marketplace in the fact that I do not print a design on my scarves but paint each design on by hand.

Another outlet for my passion for silk is teaching. I teach silk painting courses and private classes. I find great joy in this! It is very rewarding when after classes my students say that they never expected that painting on silk would be so relaxing, so meditative; feeling they had not experienced in other art.

May 2022 General Meeting – Change of Demo Artist

We Have Made a Change in Our May General Meeting

The meeting is still the same day and time and place, but the previous demo artist is unable to attend. In her place we will be featuring the demo artist that we would have had at the March General Meeting – Cheng Lian.

Cheng Lian was born in 1955 in Shanghai, China. Part of a close-knit, highly-talented family, he learned art since he was a little boy from his father, a famous artist and professor. He graduated from China Academy of Fine Art (a famous art school in China known as Zhejiang Academy of Fine Art), and he was an honored student in the art school. 

As an artist Cheng has traveled to many places in China, Asia, United States, North America, Europe and South America; he uses his artist eyes observing things that he has seen like people and scenery, and he created eye catching, breathe taking portraits, landscapes and still lifes with his unique style.
