In November 2009, Miriam Jacobs was invited to do a teaching residency at a private school in Greenwich, Connecticut. She taught the students transfer disperse dye, a method of printing on fabric. The students ranged from third grade to high school seniors. They worked hard to prepare several pieces for printing, and were able to make collages and even collaborate with each other on pair and group pieces. Miriam was extremely pleased with the students’ diligence and ability to experiment. In December, Miriam had a solo show in the school’s gallery, exhibiting primarily her textile work. Miriam created a new body of work for the show, including some pieces that are eight feet by six feet large. She also proudly displayed some of her students’ work. During the opening, a local reporter made a short video interview of Miriam and her work, which can be seen here.

Do you know about Brassworks, an office building that is one of the newest places to find art in Montclair? The building, which was renovated and opened to the public in 2007, has beautiful walls for displaying the work of local artists. Recently a second wing was completed and provides additional space for new tenants–and more wall space for art! Now, in addition to ongoing exhibitions (current exhibition extended through the end of August), you can find artwork by past Brassworks exhibitors. Stefanie Silverman is one of them, having had a show in early 2008. You can find three of her paintings on the second floor of the new wing (entrance on the left side of the building), near the offices of chiropractor Loretta Imbrogno. Brassworks is located at 105 Grove Street, between Walnut Street and Claremont Avenue.
