WOLFEBORO — The Governor Wentworth Arts Council is will present the artwork of Bobbie Stave at Meredith Village Savings Bank in Wolfeboro from Saturday, Aug. 6 through Sept. 9. Bobbie’s aprons as art were inspired by her background and the pandemic or, as she calls it, her “Pandemic Project 2020.”
“As a product of parents from the depression, there were few “new” things in the house. If it still worked, it was used; if there were no holes, it was worn. As a young single [person], my mantra was... I can make that!... This was my excuse for wanting things that I could not afford. And I DID make it. I have made “stuff” all my life. I started as a clay artist in college and then began my journey to creation with fiber. I did sculptural weaving, bookmaking, needlepoint, ribbon embroidery, crazy quilting, piece quilting, and also upcycling. Pinterest showed [me] wonderful ideas and I fell for the idea of denim jean aprons.
Bobbie’s artistic aprons graced the runway at the Upcycled Fashion Show earlier this year, modeled by fellow members of the Wolfeboro Garden Club. In honor of Earth Day, the aprons are available to purchase for environmentally (and wallet) friendly prices, with all proceeds going to the Governor Wentworth Arts Council for future upcycled projects.
