No experience necessary\, just an openness to try! See you there!\nFor more information contact the Gallery. info@mccainartgallery.com 506-392-6769\n\nDrop-in Days:\nVETERANs meet almost every last Thursday of the month from 6-8pm at River Art Centre\, 8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol\n\nBEGINNERs meet almost every first Thursday of the month from 6-8pm at River Art Centre\, 8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol\n\n________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nSo you want to get more practice using the wheels \nat the River Art Centre…\n\nWHO: The four wheels will be available to use for those who have completed the six week wheel course and have demonstrated an understanding of wheel care and clay management.

SUMMARY:Intro to Crochet with Gaby Mann
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Details: \nDates: April 11 & 25 \nTime: 1pm-3:30pm both dates \nLocation: River Art Centre\, 8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol \nCost: $65 *includes a $15 certificate to Close Knit Friends Yarn Shop to purchase a hook and yarn of your choice!* \n*you need a size 6mm crochet hook\, and 1 skein (approx 200m) worsted weight wool. You can stop by Close Knit Friends Yarn shop in Upper Kent\, OR they will be attending the Fiddlehead Fibre Festival in Florenceville-Bristol on April 10 & 11 \nRegister Now!\ninfo@mccainartgallery.com\n(506) 392-6769\nIn this class\, you will learn the most common crochet stitches and use them to make a warm cozy cowl. The class is two sessions. In the first\, you will learn the stitches on a practice piece (mug rug) you can take home. You’ll also start your cowl\, and be ready to work on (or finish crocheting) it at home. In the second\, we’ll refine your technique\, solve problems\, and show you how to sew the edges of your finished cowl together. \nThe cowl pattern used in this course is the Chi-Town Cowl by Kathy Kelly. \nChi-Town Crochet Cowl by Kathy KellyAbout the instructor: \nAsk Gaby when she learned to crochet\, sew\, and knit\, and she’ll tell you she can’t remember. Her sisters will attest that it started with the trolls. Remember trolls? Along with crayon nail polish and sharpie eyeliner\, theirs “acquired” felt clothing (basic pattern design\, handsewn seams\, closures and decorations). Predictably\, the dolls complained; that led to machine sewing\, crochet\, and knitting. In the following years\, her parents went to great lengths to keep her and her sisters trying new things\, many decidedly riskier than crocheting! Late\, Gaby maintained her university grade average by compulsive note-taking and her sanity by knitting. Fellow residents noticed\, and so began her “teaching” career. \nThere are no refunds on cancellations within 7 days of the workshop

SUMMARY:Introduction to Linocut Printmaking
DESCRIPTION:<s/p> \nJoin local artist Mahala McIntosh for a two-part immersive and hands-on linocut workshop – perfect for beginners and those with experience alike! \nPart I: In this workshop\, you will learn how to carve\, ink\, and print your own linocut. \nPart II: Building off the skills learned in part I\, you will learn about reduction printing and create a 2 colour reduction print. \n*You are also welcome to participate in part II if you have taken linocut workshops previously. \nBoth classes are suited for ages 12+\, with those 12-14 accompanied by an adult. \nThe linocuts will be 4.5″ by 6″ each class. You are welcome to bring your own image to use\, and there will be images provided. \nDates: Part I: March 14\, 1pm-4pm | Part II: March 21\, 9:30am-3pm \nCost: Part I: $30 | Part II: $45 | OR $60 for both \nLocation: The River Art Centre\, Downstairs : 8746 Main St\, Florenceville-Bristol \nIf you have any questions\, or wish to register: \n(506) 392-6769 or info@mccainartgallery.com \nWhat on Earth is Linocut Printmaking? \nLinocut is a technique of relief printing\, where you carve a design into a sheet of linoleum using sharp tools commonly called gouges. Once your design is carved\, you then ink the linoleum using a roller\, and put it ink-side down on the paper or fabric you wish to have the linocut on\, and transfer the ink either by pressing with your hand very firmly\, or with a press. This technique creates a bold\, high-contrast image. \nWith this technique\, the artist carves away the pieces they want to remain the colour of the paper (or fabric). *In reduction printing\, after your first ink has transferred nicely\, you then carve more away from the same linocut\, which allows for multi-coloured linocut prints. \nIt should be noted that whatever you carve will be mirrored in the transfer. \nLinocut is great for allowing bold styles\, and is easier to carve than wood making it an excellent entry point for beginners.

SUMMARY:Encaustic Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Encaustic Painting Workshop\nGet ready to dive into the world of creativity by learning all about Encaustic painting with Elspeth Hagan! \nWorkshop Details:\nMARCH 7\, 2026 \nFOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH: \n9AM-12PM\, $40 \ns/p \nFOR ADULTS: \n1PM-4PM\, $60 \ns/p \nAT THE RIVER ART CENTRE\, DOWNSTAIRS \n8746 MAIN ST\, FLORENCEVILLE-BRISTOL \ns/p\nRegister now!\n(506) 392-6769 \ninfo@mccainartgallery.com \nWhat you will learn:\nYou will create two images on wood (one framed) using only wax\, or if you choose\, wax combined with other elements like paper\, beads\, or pictures. You are welcome to bring their own elements or work with the supplied materials. \n*Special care has been taken to adapt the process to ensure a fully non-toxic experience. Heated wax and heat guns will be used with supervision. \nBut what on Earth is encaustic?\nEncaustic “painting” is an ancient artform that uses heated beeswax combined with pigments to create distinctive images. Encaustic uses layered wax\, scraped and carved to create beautiful patterns and scenes\, and may incorporate other materials like coloured paper\, pictures\, beads\, fibres\, or similar mixed media. Oil paints may be used to highlight certain lines. The beauty of encaustic art lies in the distinctive texture\, as well as the unpredictable and organic pictures emerging from the wax. \nSpecial care has been taken to adapt the process to ensure a fully non-toxic experience. Heated was and heat guns will be used with supervision. \nAbout your instructor:\nElspeth Hagan taught for almost a decade (part time) in the Studio program (ages 6-14) of the Royal Ontario Museum\, as well as developing and delivering art-based museum programming to adults and children. Elspeth developed museum programming – including for seniors and differently abled adults – at the British Museum in London. Elspeth currently leads the River Valley 4-H Arts & Crafts program in Florenceville. \nElspeth has always admired the history and beauty of encaustic painting and has researched and taught this technique to children and adults. \ns/p

SUMMARY:Raku Workshop with Tim Isaac & Jenna Ross
DESCRIPTION:No experience necessary – all are welcome! \nJoin artists Tim Isaac and Jenna Ross for a hands-on Raku workshop that brings fire\, clay\, and creativity together in an unforgettable outdoor experience. Whether you are a seasoned potter or new to ceramics\, this is your chance to take part in the magic of Raku firing from pulling red-hot pots from the kiln to watching dramatic finishes emerge in real time. \nWORKSHOP OVERVIEW: \n\nDates: Saturday & Sunday\, June 14-15\, 2025\nTime: June 14: 9AM-5PM\, June 15: 9AM-3PM\nFee: $200 per person. (Includes two full days of instruction\, all materials\, and your finished pieces to take home.) *No refunds for cancellations within 7 days of the workshop.\nLocation: Jenna’s house in Knowlesville\nTo register: Call 506-392-6769 or email: info@mccainartgallery.com\n\nPLEASE NOTE: Your pots must be made and bisque-fired BEFORE the workshop. \nThis is essential so your pieces are ready for the Raku process. \nHOW TO PREPARE YOUR POTS: \nAll participants must create and bisque-fire their pots ahead of the workshop. We’re offering two options to help you get ready\, both with instruction & support from Jenna\, and both are held at the River Art Centre. (8746 Main Street\, Florenceville-Bristol) \nOption 1: “Make it” Day \nSaturday\, May 24\, 12PM-4PM \nOption 2: Clay Drop-in Sessions \nThursday\, May 29 OR June 5\, 6pm-8pm \nMeet Tim! \n \n“I’m originally from Brandon\, Manitoba. I found my passion for clay about 35 years ago in Winnipeg\, where I took a class with some inspiring young professional potters. My love for clay deepened in Waterloo\, Ontario. I became a member of the local Potters’ Co-op while also finishing a degree at the University of Waterloo.” \nMeet Jenna! \n"Hi\, I'm Jenna and I have a deep love of clay! As it turns out\, I love getting my hands dirty. The walls of my home are even (unintentionally) covered in clay. I continue to be amazed at all the things this wonderful material can do. I've been drawn to the magical art of clay shape-shifting on the wheel from a blob to a form since I first watched a potter as a kid." \nWHAT YOU WILL LEARN: \n\nThe dramatic process of Raku firing.\nNatural burnt-surface decoration using the Obvara technique.\nHow to use feathers and horsehair for striking carbon markings.\n\nWhat is Raku?\nRaku is an exciting pottery technique involving red hot posts and combustible materials which can create dramatic effects. Raku dates back to 16th century Japan\, although "Western-style raku" has put its own variations on the technique. Raku firing is known for its unpredictability\, and each piece is one-of-a-kind! Raku firing is one of the most natural pottery techniques\, embracing imperfection and employing all of nature's elements: earth\, fire\, air\, and water. \nThe work raku translated to English means: 'happiness in the accident'\, pleasure\, enjoyment\, delight!
