(Wine, entertainment) All of February: 10 to 5pm Location: Albina Community Bank in the Pearl, 430 NW 10th Ave, Portland Artist: Sylvia Welch: I was born and educated in Dayton, Ohio. After working in California and Europe, I settled in Portland, Oregon and have never regretted the move! Being able to neither paint nor draw, I studied spinning and weaving. I loved dyeing wool and working at my loom and borrowed wheel. However, life has a way of replacing the things we love to do with the things we must do. After a time, I realized I had to make the time to again do something I love. I have gone from spinning and weaving to creating fabric wall-hangings. I love natural/earthy colors but use bright shades as well. My wall-hangings are not historical or social documents, but experiments with modern designs made from materials from around the world. Artist: Sunshine Dixon: Collection
of pieces from recent shows: mixed
