Sharing Our Common Threads











ArtPlay's own Piece Makers quilting class celebrated the ladies of Gee's Bend and the Groupe Bogolan Kasobane at ArtPlay with a potluck dinner complete with homemade foods prepared just for our special guests!  What a wonderful night!

Local Students Find Their Common Threads

Students from Glen Iris Elementary, Bush Hills Academy, Putnam Middle School, Ramsay High School, and many others helped us celebrate the wonderful artistic works of the Quilters of Gee's Bend and the Groupe Bogolan Kasobane at the Alys Stephens Center.  Students viewed work by these magnificent groups, participated in activities created by ArtPlay teaching artist Lillis Taylor and heard the wonderful Irene Latham speak about writing and her book 
Leaving Gee's Bend.  Here is a sample of this festive event!
