 'Workshops Wanted'
 
'STL' is looking for talented artisans to provide fiber arts related workshops (think: paper, basket making, weaving, dyeing, quilting, etc....challenge the medium...) for enthusiastic students in our facility late fall and early winter.
 
 We ask that you submit some basic information about yourself and what you are qualified to teach.  See the link below.
 
 Due to printing and mailing schedules, all submissions are due by August 15, 2010.
 
 
INTRODUCING OUR 1st ANNUAL 
  handmade holidays
Open to all craft forms and priced under $300.00 
  
No need to cart your work to another show trying to decide whether you have time to man another exhibit. We will take care of that for you!!  
 
For the holiday season, 'some things looming (STL)' will turn our entire gallery and boutique (~500 sq ft) over to the presentation and promotion of your fine, handmade crafts.  Our beautiful space, located just a few blocks from the Goggleworks to the west and City Hall and the Court House to the east, will provide just the right opportunity for you to display and sell your work.  Your work will be available and publicized not just for a weekend but for several weeks during the best retail time of the year. 
 
 Submission process applies.  Please see the complete prospectus for all requirements. 
 
  Trade Studio Rental Space for time.
 
weaving'some things looming' is seeking applicants for our artist in residence program for our calendar year September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011. One artist will be selected to receive twelve months free rent in their own studio in exchange for 45 hours a month supporting planned activities at STL.  This will be a great opportunity to be part of an exciting new community of artists and to learn about the business of art.
If you are a fiber artist and you're interested in applying for this opportunity,  please send your resume and portfolio images (Images submitted must be clearly labeled with artist's name, material, technique, and direction indication. Images on CD or quality photos are acceptable) to:  'some things looming', 526 washington street, reading, pa  19602 or service@somethingslooming.com

Fall might signal the end of summer and perhaps, like us, you don't even want to think about that, yet it is also a time of new beginnings.  It brings back the comforting reassurance of schedule and routines as the kids go back to school and life takes on a different rhythm.  Fall is the time of promises of fresh starts and a celebration of a new year.  
 
 What do you hope to accomplish this year as an artist?  We hope most sincerely to provide you with an outlet to achieve some of those goals.
 
We are starting our year off with an exhibit theme of resist techniques titled,  'simply irRESISTable'.  This is a nationally represented show.  We're very excited about the submissions we've recieved to date. 
 
Handmade Holidays is a way for your work to be seen and subsidized.  Don't miss this opportunity....and well, the other fun stuff we've got up our sleeve????...you'll just have to stick close and listen.
  
We hope that you'll take advantage of the community we are building for  you. 
 
Sincerely,
 Rebekah and Melanie
