DESCRIPTION:Manna Gallery is pleased to present Are you with me NOW?\, a s
 olo exhibition by Jeanne Lorenz\, featuring new abstract paintings that em
 erge from an expansive daily drawing practice. Guided by the belief that a
 rt can metabolize the emotional and ecological turbulence of our time\, Lo
 renz transforms accumulated gestures into luminous vertical paintings that
  balance vulnerability with resilience. She embraces painting as an act of
  participation rather than escape\, one that holds grief\, humor\, light\,
  and hope in dynamic tension. Lorenz invites viewers into a contemplative 
 space where attention itself becomes a form of repair\, and where abstract
 ion offers a language for imagining what might grow from uncertainty. \nAu

 ou can wear it to Victorian balls\, teas\, SASS events\, or any occasion y
 ou desire. You can even use it as a base for a modern or fantasy gown! \nW
 e’ll start with a Truly Victorian bodice pattern of your choosing\, and 
 augment it with authentic 19th century dressmaking techniques to make a cu
 stom gown just for you. We’ll cover measurements\, pattern adjustments\,
  fitting\, period sewing techniques\, trimming\, boning\, hand finishing\,
  and much more. \nIn the first session\, you will cover a brief overview o
 f the styles worn in the era. You will take measurements\, trace off the c
 orrect pattern pieces\, and then make and fit mock-ups. \nIn the second se
 ssion\, you will then move on to cutting and constructing your bodice and 
 adding boning. We’ll finish out by concentrating on closures and facings
 . \nPrerequisites: Students must have made at least one dress or blouse fr
 om a pattern and know how to use a sewing machine. \nSUPPLY LIST:THE PATTE
 RN: \nA Truly Victorian bodice pattern from the Victorian era (1840 – 18
 90s) These patterns have been carefully chosen because they have similar p
 attern pieces and come from reputable companies. Please do not substitute 
 another pattern. \nTruly Victorian bodice pattern of your choice from the

 ple Jacket \nTHE FABRIC: (Some of which are available from Lacis) \n\nFabr
 ic\, as listed on your pattern.  Remember to buy enough to make matching 
 skirts if you want them.\nLining: NOT modern slippery lining fabrics!  10
 0% cotton sateen\, lightweight twill\, polished cotton or broadcloth.  Sa
 me yardage as bodice.\nMuslin (or old sheets\, etc) for a mockup: 2 yards 
 or more\nPreparation: Please prepare all fabrics by washing or steaming\, 
 if necessary.  However\, do not wash your muslin.  Press all fabrics.  
 Tape together print-at-home patterns if needed.  Read pattern instruction
 s. \n\n  \nWHAT TO WEAR: \nPlease bring the underpinnings that you plan 
 on wearing with bodice. Historically accurate undergarments are a well-fit
 ted corset\, chemise\, petticoats\, and hoop\, bum pad\, or bustle\, if yo
 u will be wearing one is highly recommended.  Petticoats\, hoops\, and bu
 stle/pad affect the fit of your bodice\, so please bring them if you will 
 be wearing them.  It is perfectly fine not to wear historical undergarmen
 ts\, but you must have all the undergarments you plan to wear at the first
  class and every class thereafter. Switching the undergarments will undo a
 ll your careful fitting work.  \nWearing modern undergarments instead is 
 absolutely fine\; just be aware that a skirt made to wear with a corset wi
 ll not fit properly\, or at all\, without one\, and vice versa. So please 
 make a decision and commit to it. Showing up at the second class session w
 ith a beautiful new corset will undo most of your previous fitting work. 
   \n  \nMATERIALS: (Some of which are available from Lacis) \n\nBone cas
 ing: 6 yards.  You can use seam binding\, Prussian tape\, ribbon\, bias t
 ape\, lining fabric\, etc.\nBoning: five yards artificial whalebone\, or y
 ou can purchase metal boning at Lacis during class\nThread to match all fa
 brics\nClosures as listed in pattern: buttons\, hooks/eyes\, hook and eye 
 tape\, or eyelets for lacing\n2  yards ¾” – 1” petersham ribbon\nL
 arge hook and eye to fit petersham (or two dress size hooks and eyes)\nAny
  desired trimming\nOptional: 12 yards seam binding for Hong-Kong style sea
 m finish\n\nTOOLS REQUIRED: \n\nSewing machine\, with power cord and foot 
 pedal\, plus bobbins and extra needles. Optional piping\, zipper\, shirrin
 g and gathering attachments if needed.\nRuler (clear if possible)\nFabric

DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Reception for the group exhibition at Werkshack Stu
 dios that brings together four artists to explore themes of oppressive sys
 tems\, power\, and control through glass and mixed media. \nWorking across
  diverse techniques including fusing\, painting\, stained glass\, cast gla
 ss and more\, each artist brings a distinct perspective to the ways power 
 shapes our lives and communities. Glass becomes both medium and metaphor: 
 beautiful yet fragile\, transparent yet obstructive\, resilient yet vulner
 able. Together\, the works examine how systems of power are experienced di
 fferently across individuals and groups\, inviting us to consider who hold
 s power\, who is affected by it\, and what it means to resist\, endure\, o
 r transform it. \nArtists: Elin Christopherson\, Lynne-Rachel Altman\, Cri
 cket\, Anne Wong \nGallery Hours: Saturday\, 1 – 5 pm (and by appointmen
 t)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, September 19th\, 5 – 7pm \nOakla
 nd Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, September 4th and October 2nd\, 5:3

DESCRIPTION:UNTITLED vol.2 is proud to announce their next solo exhibition
 \, Without Sound\, from Brooklyn based multimedia artist\, Sara Gates.\nW
 ithout Sound explores a “feedback loop” in which traditional material
 s and accelerated production processes continually inform and transform on
 e another into new rhythms of possibility.\nTraditional materials carry hi
 stories of craft\, labor and touch as they encounter technologies defined 
 by speed\, automation and endless reproduction. Clay is shaped alongside t
 he logic of the digital image. Canvas and dye meet the infinite repetition
 s of the screen print. Hand-printed marks exist in dialogue with systems c
 apable of generating images in an instant.\nGates’ techniques accumulate
  in ways that resist a single point of origin. These iterations and this c
 yclical approach extend into ceramics and sculptural elements by bringing 
 the work into three dimensional space and emphasizing the harmony between 
 image\, object and environment.\nRather than positioning the analog and di
 gital as opposites\, Gates allows them to collide\, overlap and feed one a
 nother. The works become records of this exchange. In Without Sound\, Gat
 es asks us what happens when the handmade is subjected to the speed of tec
 hnology and what technology might reveal when slowed down\, re-used and tr
 anslated back into the physical world.\nPlease join us Saturday Sept.19th
  from 6-9p for an opening reception with the artist!\nUNTITLED vol.2 / 48
