CELEBRATE COLOR!

JANUARY 15, 2009 (POSTMARK)


CELEBRATE COLOR!

Fashion Show
Assn of Southern California Handweavers
2009 Regional Conference
Riverside Convention Center
Riverside, CA
March 6-8, 2009


We want to make this the most exciting and colorful fashion show ever hosted by the ASCH! Therefore, we invite participants from all over to submit their wearable fiber art.

Our Focus Will Be on Inspirational Use of Color and Collaboration Between Artists

How do you think about color? Does it inspire you, have meaning or purpose in your work or just happen accidentally? Does it evoke emotional responses?

ELIGIBILITY:

  • Open to ASCH, CNCH Guild members and everyone interested in participating!

  • We prefer that 50% of the entry be handwoven but all media are acceptable.

  • Knitting and crochet should contain handspun yarns or a uniquely designed pattern.

  • Entries may also be hand felted, surface design, handmade fabric, hand dyed, basketry technique, handmade fiber jewelry and accessories, etc.

  • Entries must have been completed within the last two years.

  • Entries shown at a previous ASCH conference are ineligible.

  • Individual Items are welcome. Ensembles are encouraged: matching or coordinated items like a jacket, skirt, hat, and purse may be combined as an ensemble and submitted as one entry.

  • If you work alone you may submit up to three entries.

  • If you collaborate you may submit up to five entries in any combination, i.e. you may work alone on 3, 2, or 1 and collaborate on another 2, 3, or 4 entries.

ENTRY FEES:

• ASCH & CNCH guild members, first entry, $15; additional entries, $5 each. (For collaborations, primary entrant must be an ASCH or CNCH guild member to receive guild rates.)
