Monday, June 23 - Friday, June 27

9:00am-12:00pm

This class is designed for rising Juniors and Seniors in High School

In this week-long intensive, students will come out with a journal, ideas for future projects, and a few samples to encourage future experimentation. Each morning, Bob will cover elements of design and art principles. Concepts like space, pattern, repetition, color, texture, and line will be sketched out, or students can find images online or in art/craft magazines to include in their journal. By creating this journal filled with dynamic examples, students will have a growing fiber arts portfolio.

Robert Dorr is a state-juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen since 2011. He layers different types of fiber and stitches in his hand-embroidered jewelry. Bob has shown his work in the League of NH Craftsmen’s Gallery and Craftwear exhibits. He has donated pieces for auctions benefiting Intown Concord, the Kimball-Jenkins School of Art, and the League of NH Craftsmen.

Bob also demonstrates his techniques in some of the League shops, at the Craft Center, and Annual League Fair. His main focus is embroidery, specifically in a style called stumpwork. Stumpwork is a form of 3-dimensional embroidery that translates very well to brooches and pendants.
