A Brooklyn Writer's Dream: Artists All Around Me
By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft
At Golden Belt Arts in Durham, NC, I met a quilter with amazing work on the walls of her studio. Seeing other artists' work, being around them, gives me energy and inspires me. Enjoy an inside peak at some creative spaces built into a converted tobacco warehouse.
This is the facade of this restored tobacco warehouse.
A photographer's studio.
A painter's studio.
A studio waiting, for you?
A studio on the outside wall, enjoying southern sunlight.
This quilter takes pride in making the back a beautiful echo of the front.
Christine Hager-Braun is a Ph.D., comes from Germany, been in the U.S. 30 years, used to work at U of North Carolina, retired, and now plays with color and shape all day.
Here's part of her collection of fabric and thread.
Beautiful. Her website is www.soularpowerfabricart.com.
This layout of colors makes me itch to touch the fabrics, sew them together, and make the colors pop next to each other.
Here's an antiques restorer's studio.
A painter's.
Some of God's living artwork outside the Golden Belt: A witch hazel, which twists in such an appealing way. How about you? Itching to grab some colors? Comment below!
