"Elements: Water, Earth, Wind and Fire" on Exhibit at Artists at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown, Wash.

Exhibited by the Palouse Patchers, the theme is "Elements: Water, Earth, Wind and Fire" and includes quilts created by members of the Palouse Patchers using the theme of "Elements: Water, Earth, Wind and Fire."

On display at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown from August 29 through September 29. Come and meet the artists at the opening reception on Sunday, September 8 from 1 to 3 pm.

In June 2012, the members of the Palouse Patchers Quilt Club, based in Moscow, Idaho, began working on a “challenge” using the theme of “Water, Earth, Wind and Fire”. Each participant chose an envelope which contained one of the four “elements" as well as the parameters for the quilts. Everyone was encouraged to use their imagination to depict their chosen element. Any and all techniques could be used to complete the quilts, including all types of embellishments. The challenge allowed the quilters to express themselves creatively and try techniques that they might not have used in the past.

7th Annual Art Demonstration Day at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn April 13, 2013

Dahmen Barn’s 7^th annual Art Demonstration Day features creating with natural materials

The 7^th annual art and craft demonstration day at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown will feature artisans who work with natural materials.  This year’s event is scheduled from 11 am to 4 pm on Saturday, April 13, 2013 and is free to the public.  Many of the resident artists at the Dahmen Barn incorporate natural materials in their work and visiting artists from the region will fill the Barn and the yard behind the wheel fence.  All will have items they have created for sale.  A list of all participants may be found on the calendar item at www.artisanbarn.org.

Artisans at the Dahmen Barn began the annual demonstration event the spring of 2007, a few months after its grand opening, to bring together many local artists who work with the same materials.  Each year has had a different theme:  fiber, wood, glass, clay, paper, recycled materials.  Participating artists demonstrate their own technique or approach to using those materials and the public is invited to observe and learn. Since creativity is the emphasis at the Barn, it is hoped attendees will choose to explore a medium in more depth after watching the artists at work.
