19
Years of AFFA Programs
2006
Sleeping Dog Studio tour.
Carpool trip to San Marcos to tour the studio
and hand-built home of Billy Ray and Beverly Mangham.
Billy Ray makes raku sculptures and Beverly is a found-object
artist. Their sense of fun was evident everywhere!
Annual
membership party. Between dances to the music
of Rumbullion, people plowed through lots of chocolate
desserts, learned about the 7th St. Obelisco Project
and met some of the local artists who received AFFA
grants this year. Hosted by Vicky and Bob Bergin.
“Retratos:
2000 Years of Latin American Portraits.”
First Marion Oettinger, curator, gave a slide presentation
at U.T. about the creation of this fascinating exhibit,
then AFFA members carpooled to San Antonio Museum of
Art for a docent-guided tour. The 2000 years covered
everything from Mochi portrait pots to Colonial saints,
from Frida Kahlo to contemporary interactive works.
Art
of the Pot Tour & Sale.
Annual Mother’s Day weekend event organized
by local potters who invite others from around the country.
This year 16 artists participated through 5 different
studios. Before the event, AFFA was invited to a slide
lecture at St. Stephens for a first look at the artists’
works. We later met at the home of Terry Tannert for
snacks and maps, then carpooled to participating studios,
including that of AFFA member Marian (Bunny) Haigh.
"Tears
From the Crown of Thorns." Austin resident
and photographer Charlotte Bell presented a slideshow
of images from her bilingual book. Bell’s poignant
photographs and considerable research into the life
and work of santero families combine to document rich
local traditions of San Miguel de Allende.
“Essence
of Mexico 1991-2002.” Exhibit, slide
show and talk by photographer, social anthropologist
and captivating storyteller, George O. Jackson, Jr.,
whose photographs stunningly document over 300 indigenous
festivals—many largely unknown to outsiders. At
U.T.’s Benson Library.
“Insider
View of San Miguel de Allende.”
Susan White and Charlotte Bell conceived and
ran this July 25-Aug. 2 trip for AFFA members. It included
visits to the hooked rug project in San Agustín
González, the ancient mining town of Los Pozos,
Gorgy Gónzalez’ majolica shop in Guanajuato,
and artists, homes and shopping in San Miguel.
Movie
Night: The Story of the Weeping Camel. Film
about a family of herders in Mongolia's Gobi region
who face a crisis when the mother camel rejects her
newborn calf after a difficult birth. The big screen
TV of Vicky Bergin’s gracious neighbors opened
a large window into a different way of life.
David
Linares at Mexic-Arte. We visited with David
Linares of the famous Mexican family of papier maché
artists, joined in painting skeleton figures for the
Day of the Dead Celebration, and viewed altars that
were created for the museum.
Day
of the Dead party. We created an altar, shared
a meal, danced to a DJ on Vicky & Bob Bergin’s
deck, and told stories about the people we memorialized
on the altar.
Demetrio
Aguilar demo. Terry Hennessey of The Turquoise
Door brought this outstanding potter from Oaxaca, and
AFFA enjoyed watching him at the home of Terry Tannert
as he created a clay sculpture of a mother and child.
A
Festival of Lights party. Held at the home
of Patricia McMillan, this annual celebration took a
new approach. Food featured holiday dishes from India,
France and Mexico. The new band (Don Leady & Alamo
Suite) didn’t show, so the 97 people who attended
enjoyed talking with each other. The live auctioneer
was a hit. At year’s end the whole event had netted
a record $3,130, plus $310 in pending income.
2005
Annual holiday party
at Mary and Larry Craddock’s home with good food,
music by the Bells of Joy, and a silent auction.
Andy
Goldsworthy Exhibit at Austin Museum of Art,

Annual

a long weekend. Martha Egan of Pachamama

Mrs. David Mathers hosted a cocktail party and showed
their folk art collection—and their wine cellar,
which is in a centuries old portion of their house.
Plus the regular Santa Fe activities!
Jennifer
Myers’ central Austin garden, which
has been featured in articles and books—a couple
of inspiring and relaxing hours.
Talk
by Andrew Small about his collection of Tonka art from
Nepal. Joan Griffith served dinner and drinks
at Wild Wood Art Cafe.

Door and hosted –-potluck-- by Priscilla Murr.

Is This Thing?” A Folk Art Road Show!
Experts—Nancy Fullerton of the San Antonio Museum
of Art, Hank Lee of San Antonio, Mary Ann Walborg of
Interweavers, Terry Hennessey of Turquoise Door, Marcia
Lucas of El Interior, Donna Endres of Istanbul to Samarkand,
Terry Grieder and Juan Isart—identified folk art
items members and the public brought in.

of the Dead celebration. Altar-building,
tamales, a talk by Susan Frost about the history of
the San Jose pottery and tile tradition and an update
on work underway to install tiles on the San Antonio
River Walk.
Day
trip to Smithville. Mary Ann Walborg spoke
at Interweavers about MaXimon, an important Guatemalan
religious folk figure. Lunch followed, then a “tourist
train” tour of Smithville’s historic homes.
“Hooked
on Rugs: the women of Agustin Gonzalez and their hooked
rug project.” This North American craft
became a profitable enterprise for 21 women in a village
near San Miguel de Allende. Susan White has been helping
the women market their rugs since 2000, and this event
sold more than any other. The rugs are charming and
100% of the purchase price went directly to the women
in Mexico.
Demetrio
Aguilar returned, this time to the home of
Anna and Bill Prothro, where he fashioned clay figures
and talked about folk lore and history, his sources
of inspiration and his methods.
