Upcoming Programs

The OHAG Board Program Co-Chairpersons, Lisanne Gollub and Mihika Kulkarni, schedule 5-6 programs during the year, combining demonstrations, field trips, and hands-on experiences. 2024-25 workshops included field trips to the Triton Museum of Art and Bay Area Glass Institute, as well as hands-on introductions to rag wreath construction, alcoholic ink painting, macramé, cardmaking, and needle felted appliqué. Programs are open to Guild members and the public, and are a great chance to observe and try various art forms throughout the year.

Quilting Demonstration
Denise Oyama Miller
Thursday, May 28, 10 am

The Olive Hyde Art Guild is pleased to host a captivating art demonstration by local textile and mixed-media artist Denise Oyama Miller on Thursday, May 28, from 10 am to 12 noon. The event will take place in the Mission Room of the Olive Hyde Art Gallery, offering a unique look into a creative process that converts fabric and thread into picturesque landscapes.

A resident of Fremont and a UC Berkeley mathematics graduate, Denise spent years in information technology before transitioning to her studio practice full-time. She describes her work as “painting with scissors”. Her quilts are meticulously crafted through hand-dyeing, printing, and layering to form vivid landscapes. Drawing inspiration from her Japanese ancestry, her art reflects quiet harmony and a deep reverence for nature.

During this interactive session, Denise will demonstrate her impressionistic technique by creating a small landscape from start to finish in which she will guide the audience through every step of her process. A selection of her completed quilts will also be on display, showcasing an array of subjects and craftsmanship.

This will be the final Olive Hyde Art Guild program for the 2025-2026 year, and we look forward to seeing you there. Kindly RSVP as there are limited spots available.
