PMC...oh oh

Yay the Ontario Crafts Council had a precious metal clay workshop. I attended, It was great! very tempting... It certainly got my brain in gear, and I can't wait to get playing with it, now. must. work. on. creating more hours. in the. day. During the course, we made a ring complete with cubic zirconia, and a pendant that has an impression on it. (of course I carved a dragonfly into mine, that was modelled after this guy that I found in the garden )

Mosaics

Jean Loney is our featured artist this month, I just love the glass she uses for her mosaics, iridescent, rich colours. I think hte Beach is my favourite, especially as she adds natural elements like shells. And speaking of beaches, check out Robert Chisholm's paintings in the window inspired by his time in New Brunswick

Art a la Car

The little pamphlet that could! Co- operative marketing is always a good idea, and when 6 galleries got together to promote a road-trip little did we know it would go National! thanks to Jim Fox and the Sun group of papers. It was in the travel section of all major cities in Canada. Lets hope that even more people will discover the great artists in Dufferin Wellington and Peel. http://travel--news.blogspot.com/2010/08/day-trips-for-art-lovers.html
so come to Orangeville , Alton, Brampton, Glen Williams, Fergus and Elora and check it out.

Last week for Gail Prussky

Gail is taking her work out this week, and will be out of commission for a while. I'm trying to convince her to become a Dragonfly Studio Artist. Gail's Art is out there, in your face, she does get emotions flowing. Watch for her work next in the Headwaters Arts Festival Art show.
