This week was the first Still Life Class at the Studio. It's been years since I have drawn and so the drawings left a lot to be desired but the bug bit me hard! My very dear friend Barbara showed up and we sat for 2 hours drawing from an arrangement of Spirea, Flannel Flowers, Snow drop bulbs and Muscari. I didn't make it easy for us choosing such minute detailed material, but the composition had a lot of movement and delicacy. Today I went back to the scene of the crime and added some poppies to it and attempted a pastel drawing. Needless to say I need a lot more practice. Next session is Monday night for any takers! 8PM at 285 N6th St Williamsburg. Email me at bridget@thedesignersco-op.com to rsvp your spot. I will probably start at 7 and go till 10.
Hope to see some shiny happy faces!
A few weeks back we had the honor to spruce up the setting for Conde Nast Achievement Awards, an event we have helped produce for the past three years. In years past the event was held at the St Regis, but this year we worked at MOMA which I have always loved working in. MOMA is an ideal platform for corporate events. The space is designed to feature artwork in a clean unfettered environment so that the work speaks for itself. I feel it accomplishes the same effect with event design. The tastemakers at Conde Nast appreciate simplicity and an austere approach to decorating events. As you know by now, my true passion lies in the chaos and imperfection of nature but I also truly enjoy delivering a restrained feel for the appropriate occasion. I guess you could say this is the Dr Jekle to our Mr Hyde- with the exception that I hope they are both loved equally. :)
