Found Art Festival

Back by popular demand, the Found Art Festival is around the corner...July8 & 9th We are starting to get in new work from your favourites, Carmen Hickson, Dogbite, Rachel Clark Hall. Just so you know, this photo of 1955 artwork is from MOCA in LA, the artist is Robert Rauschenberg ...hmmn This coming window will be very interesting with button jewellery, sculpture , paintings and some larger items from Jim Reed, but in the meantime, it is the last day for Julia Veenstra's rich acrylics. She'll be taking them to a show in Hamilton. Jean Loney has the window now with beautiful new mosaics, some with 24 karat gold! Sideroads magazine did a wonderful article on Robin Pouw with lots of great photos of Robin and her jewellery.

New Artist

So much going on this time of year, new art-work flooding into the shop. I just love Anne Marie Chagnon's new collection. There is gold liberally sprinkled into it. I was just unwrapping some garden art. Funky flower stakes and recycled bugs. But the best news is a new artist in the fourth studio. Robin Pouw is a goldsmith, and will be forging, casting, fabricating jewellery. She works in silver or gold using semi-precious stones and those wonderful precious stones like diamonds and sapphires. She will be designing and working on commissions. btw, she's very good, she won all the awards at her college.
