Kristen Gilje Studio: April 2010
http://kristen-gilje.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Progress of a Visual Artist. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Art for Change, Through the Church. I think that cultural change often happens first through ritual. And that art can address what is yet unspoken, before we have words for what is. Ritual and art can work on an intuitional, preverbal level, and together they can birth a new idea onto a more conscious plane, even into a physical reality. Art in the church can birth new ways of living. The first workshop is April 31-May 1 at 1st United Methodist.

Kristen Gilje Studio: Plymouth Group: Painting by Consensus
http://kristen-gilje.blogspot.com/2010/11/plymouth-group-painting-by-consensus.html
Progress of a Visual Artist. Monday, November 29, 2010. Plymouth Group: Painting by Consensus. Ever think about painting by consensus? It worked pretty well this fall at Plymouth Church in Seattle. 14 of us painted 16 banners all in one day. Yes, there was a lot of planning beforehand, and that helped it go very smoothly. Now Plymouth has Advent banners adorning their worship space that they have helped design, and have painted themselves. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bellingham, WA, United States.

Kristen Gilje Studio: St. Dunstan's Stained Glass Window Competition
http://kristen-gilje.blogspot.com/2011/03/st-dunstans-stained-glass-window.html
Progress of a Visual Artist. Thursday, March 31, 2011. St Dunstan's Stained Glass Window Competition. The basic idea is seeing the Light of God in everyday life, in this case through the trees. My inspiration was a photo of the window itself, through which I could make out the branches of trees that were really there. Here's a picture of the window in the church. Here's a link to the prospectus:. And here's a link to St. Dunstan's church:. Love the addition of the leaves. April 5, 2011 at 7:55 PM. I work...

Progress of a Visual Artist. Sunday, June 26, 2011. This winter and spring I've been working with First Congregational Church UCC of Bellingham WA, preparing them to make their own silk banners. We started out with 5 silk workshops and over 35 participants, to learn technique. Everyone showed up at church with colorful silk scarves this spring.
