Lorelyn Eaves will be our presenter. With help provided through our scholarship program, Lorelyn took two online courses with Debbie Lyddon titled “Sensing Place” , where they worked in mark, stitch and 3D mixed media inspired by sound and the rhythm of your surroundings. Lorelyn will share some of the takeaways from the course work and talk about how that new information influences what she is currently doing as she develops her own personal work.
