Hello SAQA Europe and Middle East Region member,
This is an invite to help with the SAQA stand for the
Festival of Quilts – 7th to 10th August 2014. I hope you will be able
to come to the show in Birmingham, England. As you may know, Martha Sielman
will be at the Festival of Quilts this year. The exhibition will include some
of the works which are included in her recent book "Art Quilt
Portfolio: People and Portraits". Martha will also be giving lectures
in the lecture room, so check your Show schedules to be sure to catch at least
one of them.
I am arranging the rota for stewarding the SAQA stand this
August. Some of you have kindly volunteered to steward in the past. We are
looking for help again this year. If you have not helped before, I would like
to encourage you to help with looking after the SAQA exhibition. It is a
special time when you can talk with the public about SAQA, about the
exhibition, and even talk about design and technique with the people come to
view. And, too, it is a chance to get to know other SAQA members who pop in
from time to time throughout the show.
If you are not confident about speaking English, we can
still use your help because there are many visitors who don’t speak
English. It would be great to be able to converse with them to help them
connect with the work and with SAQA.
If you can help, can you let me know what day you would
prefer and what time would suit you? I am hoping to have stewarding slots of 1
½ hours with 2 people together.
The times will be
10-11:30
11:30-
1
1-2:30
2:30-4
4-5:30 each day (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday).
If your
schedule allows you to do more than one session, that would be wonderful! There
will be a Meet and Greet session on the Friday afternoon as in previous years,
but I am not arranging this. However, the stand will be left to itself during
that time so we can all meet together, you will not need to miss it.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you so much,
Sandy Snowden

I can recommend the stewarding, it's great way to meet new people, to promote SAQA and to spend time in the exhibition. Will be emailing you with availability Sandy
ReplyDeleteI should also make it clear that anyone who stewards will be given a pass for the show. So, that is a good savings!
ReplyDeletePlus, you can enter the show before the crowds and stay a bit longer at the end.
