WEAVES OF CLASS
SEAVIEW, WASH. — Ex-
plore creative meditation
through the use of flower
essences and the ancient
craft of weaving with the
class “Busy Hands Quiet
Minds: Weaving as Med-
itation,” 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 25, at the
Sou’wester Lodge (3728 J
Place, Seaview, Washing-
ton).
An optional meet-
and-greet will be held 7
p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24,
followed by an optional
bedtime meditation.
Weaving is a methodical
and slow practice. As our
hands get involved with
each stitch, our minds are
free to rest from our con-
scious stream of thought. It
is in this state of quiet that
we are best able to hear
our creative voice and let
it shine.
Instructors Natalie No-
vak and Samantha LaM-
ont will be your guides
as you use these simple,
traditional tools to enter a
meditative state. Join this
class and learn not only
how to weave, but also
how weaving can be a tool
used daily for self-care and
meditation.
Students will leave with
the flower essences we use
in class, plus a complete
weaving kit that includes
a frame loom, essential
weaving tools, illustrated
instructions, yarn and a
special tote to carry it all
home in.
Novak, a Portland artist,
works primarily in tapes-
try, drawing from ancient
and contemporary weaving
techniques to explore color
relationships and modern
mysticism.
LaMont — a weaver,
painter and teacher living
in Portland — creates
ritual art and cultivates a
practice of being through
guided meditation and
flower exploration.

SEAVIEW, WASH. — Time
is running out to see the
Sou’wester Staff Art Show in
a vintage travel trailer turned
into a permanent gallery. The
show runs through Sunday,
Feb. 25.
All artwork in this exhibit
is original work made by
artists who work at the
Sou’wester Lodge.
The space is open 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m. Friday through
Sunday and by request: Stop
in at the lodge’s front desk,
and we’ll open the gallery
for you.
The trailer is a 1960s Alo-
ha made in Aloha, Oregon. It
was rescued from a neglected
RV park in the northern part
of the Long Beach Peninsula.
Now repaired and trans-
formed into an art space, this
gallery is part of our artist
residency program and our
new nonprofit organization,
Sou’wester Arts.
The next show will
be open Friday, March 2,
through Sunday, March
4, and feature artist Lisa
Ward as part of Spaceness
2018, an arts festival at the
Sou’wester, free and open to
the public.
