FYI - GENEROUS 'zine is having some last minute touch-ups but it's coming.  In the meantime this is some 411 from my inbox

One of our members from Australia, Mandy Rowe will be coming to San Francisco in a couple of weeks. If you are in the San Francisco area be sure to stop by and say "hi" and take part in her free workshop.


Here are the details:
Australian artist Mandy Rowe will be at the Womenʼs Building in San Francisco on Wednesday the 24th June 2009 (www.womensbuilding.org). She is inviting local women to come along and help create a felted wrap. This wrap will eventually be felted in with other wraps created in other
destinations. The aim is to make one long wrap that reflects our diverse similarities. This wrap will form part of her exhibition in 2010. Women are also invited to write a short story or ʻwrapʼ about something from their lives. All ʻwrapsʼ or stories will be bound in a beautifully crafted hand-made book and displayed for the duration of the exhibition. Some of these stories will be made into paintings, others will be transcribed onto long cylinder lampshades. These stories will be illuminated.

If you would like to help create a San Francisco felted wrap while learning this ancient craft, come along to the Womenʼs Building on the 24th June anytime between 6.30 and 8.30pm. This is a free event. If you cannot make the evening and would still like to be included in this exhibition I would love to receive your story or ʻwrapʼ. Stories may comprise of a simple one line philosophy others may be longer. Short, long, happy, sad,
frivolous, serious.....all ʻwrapsʼ are welcome, after all itʼs your story.

Send your story or ʻwrapʼ to mandyrowe@bigpond.com. You can learn more about Mandy on her website - http://www.mandyrowedesigns.com.au/

I wish I lived closer to go to this free workshop! I hope if you are able to you should join her for the evening and if not, maybe you will send in a story to be included in the book. I think I would like to do that myself.

Thank you,
Casie, IndieAdmin
