SUMMARY:Shadows and Tall Trees\, Stephen Hutchings
DESCRIPTION:Opening 31 May\, 2024 from 5-7 pm \nArtist Stephen Hutchings will give a talk starting at 5:15 about his art practice and answer questions about the work in the gallery.  Everyone is welcome\,  admission is always free and refreshments will be served. \nArtist statement  \nMy landscape paintings and drawings and prints are\, in equal measures\, both objective and subjective: they not only describe the world I know\, but they also describe the world as I want it to be. I combine a resemblance to the external world we live in with the inner world of my emotions\, my expectations and my hopes. \nIn my work\, I engage with ideas about personal identity\, mystery\, revelation\, and the infinite. Areas of rich dark are combined with areas of intense light\, playing off of each other\, acting as larger metaphors that refer to both ourselves\, (as individuals and as part of a society) as well as to the world around us. \nThis exhibition brings together recent and new work representing a range of subjects\, from trees to clouds\, as well as extremes of sizes: Theatre of Trees is massive at 8’ x 40’ while the four Ghost Tree paintings are much more intimate at 12” x 12” each.

SUMMARY:Raku Workshop with Giorgio Azzaretti
DESCRIPTION:The Andrew & Laura McCAin Art Gallery is thrilled to be hosting visiting artist Giorgio Azzaretti.\nGiorgio Azzaretti is visiting Carleton County  for the month of June 2024\, from his ceramic studio in Ravenna\, Italy. He shared his knowledge and expertise through a series of workshops for all levels of interest and experience. With assistance from Jenna Ross\, he has been an enormous help setting up the gallery’s new Raku kilns\, helping Jenna learn a bit more about the process and what is possible. The Gallery looks forward to hosting more Raku instructors in the future. \n \nA bit about RAKU:\nRaku is an exciting pottery technique involving red hot pots and combustible materials which can create dramatic\neffects. Raku dates back to 16th century Japan\, although “Western-style raku” has put its own variations on the\ntechnique. Raku firing is known for its unpredictability\, and each piece is one-of-a-kind! Raku firing is one of the\nmost natural pottery techniques\, embracing imperfection and employing all of nature’s elements: earth\, fire\, air\,\nand water. \nThe word raku translated to English means: ‘happiness in the accident’\, pleasure\, enjoyment\, delight! \n\n\n\nThe RAKU Workshop with Giorgio Azzaretti\nThe workshop is over four days\, June 1\, 8\,15 & 16. It included all materials\, and everyone made pots to take home. \nMeet Giorgio at Clay Drop-In on May 30\, 6-8pm for a clay “Smash”. Registration required that day\, $20\, all inclusive\, “newbies” welcome! \nIf you’d like to see the beautiful objects everyone made\, drop in to the  River Art Centre in Florenceville-Bristol on June 15\, 2024 from 6-7:30 pm. \nThe students and Giorgio will be there to explain the various processes they used to ry their hands at three different Raku styles. Everyone is welcome.
