Paper Quilts in the South End

By Jessica Burko of Reclaimed To You

The 2010 South End Open Studios: The Art of Boston will take place Saturday, September 25th and Sunday, September 26th, from 11am - 6pm both days

Visit my studio during the weekend for art demonstrations and to see new original artwork: 35 Wareham Street (between Harrison and Albany), 2nd floor

New for 2010 is, Made in the South End: Artists Making Art. As part of this new series I will be demonstrating my paper quilt techniques throughout the Open Studios weekend:
Saturday & Sunday @ 12:30, 2:30 & 4:30 pm

Stop by and see non-linear narratives come to life as I stitch paper quilts made from original photos, found paper, vintage clippings, and recycled ephemera. These one-of-a-kind collages build stories from seemingly unrelated elements, and create art with only paper and thread.

This is THE ONLY TIME during the year when ALL of the major art buildings in the South End are open to the public---from the Boston Center for the Arts, Laconia Lofts, the SOWA buildings, the studios on Wareham and Albany Streets, the newly opened Art Block and the Piano Factory over 250 of Boston's most exciting artists open their doors so you can experience art in a profoundly personal way. Painting, photography, printmaking, jewelry, fiber, glass, metal, wood, ceramics, mixed media, and art incorporating cutting edge technology is all here for you to take in and take home.
