BELLE'S HANDWEAVERS
Joanne Tallarovic, Louisa Ballard, Janice Woodburne
What do you want to
share with others in your work?
We are all weavers who weave high quality works of art.
Which piece(s) would
you never sell?
We would never sell our national award-winning pieces.
What (or whose) other
artworks do you display in your home?
We all have Navajo, Hopi and international ethnic weavings
displayed.
How do you make time
for your art?
We are all full-time studio artists.
What obstacles do you
overcome to create?
Our main obstacles to overcome are health issues.
Are you ever bored? How do you break out of a slump?
None of us has experienced a slump. We exchange creative ideas.
Whose work inspires
you?
We are inspired by Navajo and Swedish weavers.
What other mediums
interest you?
We find inspiration in ceramics, with knitting, sewing and
needlework.
Where are you “going”
with your art?
We plan to continue to be creative, productive and to
exhibit and sell our weaving.
What kind of
class/workshop would you most like to attend?
We would all like to learn more about weave structures,
color and technique.
How does your
artistic attitude affect your day job?
This is our day job!
How does small-town
life help/hinder your work?
Living in a small town, one’s exposure to art galleries and
exhibitions is limited. However, there
is a community spirit of helping each other which is missing in a metropolitan
area.
Which family members
are artistically inclined?
We all come from artistic families and our offspring
continue the tradition of creativity.
Describe your ideal
workspace.
We espouse a large, well lit, well equipped studio.
What are your
thoughts on the co-op experience? Is
this new for you?
This is not a new experience for us. Being around other creative artists generates
our own creativity. The co-op enhances
our production and the meeting of deadlines.
