M. Joan Lintault Connecting Quilts, Art & Textiles
If you like her work you are going to love looking through this book. The book is rich in detail and explanations. It's the kind of book that when you are feeling like the muse hasn't been to your studio for a loooooooooooooong time, this book might get you excited to try something different. Her discussions about what had impacts on her art are inspiring. It reminded me to keep looking around my daily existence, keep that camera with me and allow myself time to connect the dots of what I might be seeing and how it might influence my own art work. If you want to check out her website, www.mjlintault.com She also has a blog devoted to indigo dyeing a, natural dyes and resist techniques, indigodye.blogspot.com

FiberArts Review
The idea that we live in Paradise is what inspires much of Joan’s work. The rich surface of her pieces is created starting from plain white fabric, and because she believes that every process should contribute something to the work, she dyes, overdyes, screenprints, machine embroiders and paints each image separately and then laboriously stuffs them and sews them either to each other or onto a background of her own machine-made lace. This gorgeous book not only shows her work in full-page, glorious detail, but contains a wealth of Joan’s musings on her inspiration, art, critique and the importance of process. A long-time master of the art quilt form, this retrospective of Joan’s work belongs in every library.
Other exhibitions & workshops may be added throughout the year.
