The Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies and the MFA in Applied Craft+Design are excited to present Dee Clements of Studio Herron at the upcoming Graduate Lecture Series. Dee Clements is the Founder, Creative Director, and Designer of Studio Herron, a design studio that specializes in textiles, furniture, and objects combining artistic processes and traditional craft techniques. With a deep appreciation for materials and craft, Dee holds an MFA in 3D Design from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Fiber and Materials Studies and Sculpture from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. Dee's work at Studio Herron explores the connections between history, craft, culture, materials, and objects. Her practice delves into the examination of women's roles in craft and design, shedding light on their unseen labor and the societal expectations placed upon them. Through her woven vessels, Dee creates metaphorical representations of the historically gendered "Women's Work," drawing inspiration from the ancient craft of basketry and the symbolism of the Paleolithic stone-carved Venus Figurines. By looking back at the lineage of craft and patriarchy, Dee finds inspiration for her forward-thinking practice. She reflects on the establishment of patriarchy during the Neoleolithic-early Bronze Age and the Code of Hammurabi, which heavily influenced societies for thousands of years. This code reinforced the notion of women as property and restricted their rights, leading to the subjugation of women's crafts and relegating them to domestic duties. Through her work, Dee celebrates and honors the significance of women's craft, using hand-dyed materials in vibrant colors and incorporating elements of painting and ceramics. Her large sculptural forms, created through the ancient craft of weaving, push the boundaries of the material and pay homage to the rich lineage of this art form. Join us at the Graduate Lecture Series to gain insight into Dee Clements' thought-provoking work and the centuries of overlooked women who have contributed to the field. The Graduate Lecture Series featuring Dee Clements will take place on February 8, 2024, at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland. This event is free to attend, so don't miss the opportunity to experience the unique and unforgettable artistry of Studio Herron.

Join Daniel Freedman, a Portland-based educator, artist, and poet, for an enlightening class titled "Bad Art: Theory and Practice." This thought-provoking class aims to move beyond criticism and foster self-acceptance while building a vibrant artistic community. Throughout the course, participants will explore the fundamental question, "What is art for?" The class is divided into three parts, creating a comprehensive exploration of the subject matter. The first part delves into the theory of art making, analyzing and dissecting various ideas. By thoroughly examining these concepts, participants gain a deeper understanding of the creative process. In the second part, participants will engage in the practice of art making, emphasizing the relational aspect of creation rather than focusing solely on aesthetics. This approach encourages a communal process where participants not only share their work but also actively engage with each other's artistic expressions. By moving away from the binary notion of "good" and "bad" art, participants can truly appreciate and honor the artistic journey of each individual. Afterwards, a reflective session allows participants to explore their emotional responses to both making art and receiving critiques. By examining their experiences, participants gain valuable insights into the transformative power of art. Daniel Freedman's unique perspective as an artist and educator shapes the philosophy of this class. Drawing inspiration from German expressionists and French impressionists, Daniel's work explores themes of resilience, strife, peace, beauty, and chaos. With a focus on curiosity, mutual respect, and relationship building, both Daniel's art and educational practices emphasize the importance of engaging with art in a meaningful and profound way. If you're eager to embark on a journey of self-discovery, artistic growth, and community building, join us at Factory 3, located at 105 Saint James Street, Portland, ME 04101, on February 11, 2024.
