Call and Response program on April 4, 2017


We were treated to an interactive Call and Response program at the April 4, 2017 Contemporary Fiber Arts Guild program. Three CFA members from Call and Response each brought one of their art pieces, concealed from view until we were divided into three groups at 3 tables. At that time, one of the art pieces was revealed for each table. We had about 15 minutes to create a response to the call at our table. We used paper, scissors, glue, crayons, colored pencils, pastels, needle and thread, and other media supplied by our presenters. The room was charged with energy and creativity. I wish I could have taken some photos of the creative process.  Here are the results.
