Welcome

  Our guest this week is Mercedes Bowyer of Rogue Needlepoint. Mercedes learned needlepoint from her grandmother but it “didn’t stick.” She likes to stitch scenes and she decided to teach herself to interpret the elements with threads and stitches. The result has been a series of successes that have found their way into several juried exhibitions. 

 In this week's Coffee @ 10, Mercedes will discuss her creative practice as a "rogue needlepointer." Mercedes' work is included in CTAC's annual juried fine art show, Fields of Vision.  

 A chronicle of creativity. Interviews with creative practitioners – writers, performing and visual artists, GAAC artist-members, and other Northern Michigan makers – about process, technique, tools, materials and the influence of place on practice.
