what this group is: a once-a-month zoom-room studio chat facilitated by Margaret Lindsey. (no real-time artmaking--this is all sharing and talking)

concept: this is a non-critical (not-a-critique) chat place to share current work and get feedback from the other participants. Members will listen and offer gentle responses and questions about what each member shares from their studio practice.

How it works: Each artist will show 1 piece (or 1 series) of current studio work during each chat session, and the other group members and Margaret will give input on whatever the artist has shown. Everyone will have the same amount of time.

Who can join? Any of Margaret’s current or past students, based solely on the desire to engage in constructive conversations about what we are making in the studio. Any media OK, any experience and ability level OK. Focus is generally on work made as inquiry, tho issues of technique may be appropriate to discuss if someone is needing help figuring out how to express something particular. This is a process art group: as always, there is no right way and no wrong way to make the art. We will be responding to the questions each artist is asking from a place of curiosity and support.

The first session is September 23, 9:30-11am PT, and will be offered free of charge—you can see if it’s a fit for you, and we can fine-tune the process after trying it out. Tentative dates set for: Sept. 23, Oct. 28, Nov. 11, and Dec. 9.
