Memoriam
Linda Lee Barnes Yenawine, TIAC’s vice
Linda’s power of persuasion, infectious smile,
enthusiasm, and unbridled passion for helping
people, especially as it related to TIAC, could not
be matched.
Choose as many fun-filled venues &
menus as you like while also supporting
the Thousand Islands Arts Center.
Linda was a consummate volunteer having served
on countless boards including Literacy of Syracuse;
Everson Art Museum; Syracuse Symphony Orchestra; Syracuse Opera; Crouse Irving Memorial Auxiliary; Onondaga Pastoral Counseling; Junior League
of Elmira; and Samaritan Summit Village (Watertown, NY). In addition to her devoted board service,
Linda also worked tirelessly for the Girl Scouts;
Red Cross; United Way; Children’s Hospital
(Caracas, Venezuela); and Habitat for Humanity;
just to name a few.
Linda is survived by her husband Martin of 48
years, her daughter Tiffany Wareing and husband
Brad, and two grandchildren, Barlow and Lior, of
Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
We will miss you, dear friend.
Welcome
... to the Thousand Islands Arts Center’s 2016 season! We
are delighted to offer a new and improved schedule of classes
this year with outstanding instructors, some familiar to you,
several new. If you’ve taken a class here before, we look forward
to seeing you again. If you’re new to the Arts Center and all
that we have to offer, please try a class or two—you won’t be
disappointed!
chair, Dine-Around (fundraiser) founder and
chair, membership committee chair, and beloved
friend, passed away at her home on Wellesley
Island on March 4.
Linda joined the TIAC Board of Trustees in 2013
and, as she did for so many other worthy organizations she served, hit
the ground running. She
even recruited her husband Marty to conduct a
strategic planning exercise over several months
for the organization
when it was determined
that TIAC needed an updated strategic plan to
apply for certain grants.

Be sure to check out the Arts Center’s calendar on page 33. Aside
from our plentiful class schedule, we have many wonderful
events and exhibitions throughout the year including the
22nd Annual Weaving History Conference in May; and the 52nd
Annual Antiques Show and Sale and the 34th Annual Arts and
Crafts Show and Sale, both perennial favorites held in August.
TIAC also has its third annual Dine-Around fundraiser
available. Details at TIArtsCenter.org. The Along the River’s
Edge exhibition returns in June and is followed by a weaving
exhibition by Nancy Kozikowski in July and a painting and
photography exhibition by Beth and Bill Munro in August.
We will continue to build on our dry stonewall curriculum which
was a big hit last fall and offer another intensive workshop in
early September. And, in keeping with the Museum’s roots,
we’ve discovered a master weaver from Rochester who will
teach beginning and double weave this season. I invite you to
turn the page and start picking your classes!

CAPTURING ATMOSPHERE
IN WATERCOLOR
Introduction to Silk
Painting
Stormy skies, soft misty mornings
and shimmering sunlight on the
water are all effects that you will
learn in this class geared for students with some previous watercolor
experience. Color temperature and
the push-pull of warm and cool colors will be explored as students experiment with watercolor on various
smooth and textured surfaces.
Watercolor, paper, brushes, foam
board, masking tape, and other
watercolor supplies will be provided.
Please bring a bag lunch.
Enjoy painting with the bold vibrant
colors of Dyna-flow dyes in this introduction to painting on silk class.
In the first day of the workshop each
student will have the opportunity
to create a simple design, transfer
it to a 10” silk hoop and apply the
resist medium. On the second day
the students will apply the color to
the hoop. There will be ample time
to experiment with the dyes before
they are applied to the hoop and the
instructor will also cover the properties of the dye, and color mixing. All
materials supplied.

use complementary colors and neutrals to their best advantage. We’ll
also cover several techniques for applying paint including palette knife,
dry brush, scumbling and wet into

with all of Wilson’s classes, each
session is presented in a fun, unpressured atmosphere and students
will leave with their own beautiful painting. Beginners are always
welcome and all materials will be
supplied. Please bring a bag lunch.

LINDA SCHERZ ALLEN started basket weaving with reed in the 1980’s shortly after a move
to northern NY. Her interest in weaving quickly became an important part of her life. She
started designing, teaching, harvesting and working with bark, then waxed linen. She finds
it exciting to create intricate patterns and incorporate different materials in her designs.
She is working on her book for weaving miniatures. Linda has had the pleasure of teaching at various locations for art centers, guilds and groups throughout the eastern United
States. Occasionally she partakes in juried craft fairs and exhibitions. Most recently, her
basket "Radiance" was in the NBO All Things Considered VIII Exhibition. Linda likes to
share her basketry experience with other basket makers and those interested in basketry.
These miniature baskets are as adorable to display as they are functional! Students will have three pattern
choices to weave during this class
—Serenity, Stargazer, or Checkerboard. Serenity has a wood base with
reed spokes glued in and ready for

This two-day, hands-on workshop

a unique free-standing wall that is
both functional and beautiful, taking away tremendous knowledge

MAKE A DIDDLEY BOW
Mike Strouse
The diddley bow is a single-stringed
American instrument which influenced the development of the blues
sound. It was traditionally considered a starter or children’s instrument in the Deep South, especially
in the African American community.
Consisting of a wooden board and a
single wire string stretched between
two screws, a glass bottle is usually
used as the bridge, helping to amplify the sound. In this class, students
will learn to make their own diddley
bow, creatively embellishing to make
it a unique art form—besides a fun
musical instrument.

Serena Buchanan
These classes are a great introduction to ceramics for kids. Each class
is independent or you can take all
of them, as each class will have its
own project. Ages 5 and up will learn
how to work with clay while making
pinch pots, cutouts, and many other
creative projects. Please note that
clay needs a few days to dry before it
can be bisque fired, then glazed and
re-fired. Students can expect their
pieces to be fired and ready for pickup 5-14 days after class. Please register early, as these classes fill up fast!

The 2016 and 2017 summer architecture workshops for kids will complement each other. This summer’s class
will be based on the work of Japanese
Architect Shigeru Ban followed by
the 2017 class which will focus on the
German Architect Frei Otto. These two
architects have collaborated on many
projects using Shigeru Ban’s ingenious
use of cast off paper tubes (or cores)
to build both architectural and disaster relief structures, and Frei Otto’s
inspirational tensile and fabric structures. In this class, students will study
the principles behind these structural
systems and will construct models
combining these forms and principles
with their own imaginations.
We’ll begin with an exploration of
basic design principles followed by a
power point presentation, then students will learn the organizing principles of design, architectural drawing
conventions, and structural fastening
techniques. Students will use their
own design imaginations and make
models for playgrounds, garden structures, or whatever they dream up.
Parents, family, and friends will be
invited to a final presentation as the
students present their portfolios.
Note: Class will be held at Christ Episcopal
Church at 235 John Street, Clayton.
