			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the Pat Hayes art space:  The Finely Crafted Life.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a Western Massachusetts artist working in painted and dyed textiles, as well as an art therapist and instructor in fine crafts.</p>
<p>My <a href="http://fastnetmedia.com/finelycraftedlife/?page_id=19">&#8220;Art from the Heart&#8221; workshops</a> for survivors of breast cancer are supported by the <a title="Rays of Hope" href="http://baystatehealth.com/forms/Raysofhope/fall08news.pdf">Rays of Hope Walk</a> and sponsored by Baystate Medical Center,  Springfield MA.  I also conduct workshops for groups, organizations and the general public.</p>
<p>At my studio in Northampton, MA, I create wearable art pieces with hand-dyed, painted and stenciled silk.  From wispy spring scarves to custom mother-of-the-bride ensembles,  my designs flatter the figure and add a little luxury without taking the focus off you.</p>
<p>I consult with clients by appointment at the studio, and exhibit my work at venues such as the <a href="http://www.donmullergallery.com/">Don Muller Gallery</a> and <a href="http://paradisecityarts.com">Paradise City Arts</a> shows.</p>
